Sending shivers
Right down you spine
It's something that you're prone to, so divine
You were better at lies
(I was never surprised)
At the way that if felt
Now feel the blade
(I was always insane)
But you're the one that needs help
Quick
We have the ransom
Tell me that you can swim when ropes are wrapped
Below
There's no more chances
So tell me how that you can swim
When ropes are wrapped around your limbs
Breathing slowly never worked for me
I cut the throat of betrayal to watch him bleed
A poetic sonnet
passion that I scream to the sky
I'm tearing up
I feel your love don't leave me behind (2x)
The smell of vanity went away
I followed streetlights till I wound up at your place
We traced our veins
(We bled for days)
The current was strong enough tonight
I can't taste any more
It lasted on my tongue
You weren't strong enough to say...
Quick
We have the ransom
Tell me how that you can swim
When ropes are wrapped around your limbs
Below
There's no more chances
So tell me how that you can swim
When ropes are wrapped around your limbs
I talked to you today
I heard the tremble in your voice
Cradle the fall
I know you'll never change
So please just hold on
I know it's hard for you
It's hard to understand
Betrayal within
There is a fine line between betrayal
betrayal and your friends
