Lyrics
Elektra
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'd like for you to feel this. I'd love for you to
cry tears of fire that melt away your dishonest
smile.
I lick the blade,
and I'm reminded of the time you cut your
lip, and I kissed it better.
As I run my tongue along the silver,
I feel more than you've ever let
me. As I run the blade along my tongue, I feel
more than you. Can I separate myself from the
memories that flood back into my mind? Like all
the times I gave up on myself and let myself die?
I lick the blade, and I realize that the blood
tastes better than kisses you've blessed me with.
I'll never regret a thing. This is my knife, and
I'm glued to the handle.
