The Speed Of Pain
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.
They slit our throats
Like we were flowers
And our milk has been devoured
When you want it, it goes away too fast
Times you hate it, it always seems to last
But just remember when you think you're free
The crack inside your fucking heart is me
I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day
I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day
I wish I could sleep
But I can't lay on my back
Because there's a knife for everyday
That I've known you
When you want it, it goes away too fast
Times you hate it, it always seems to last
But just remember when you think you're free
The crack inside your fucking heart is me
I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day
I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day
Lie to me, cry to me, give to me, I would
Lie with me, die with me, give to me, I would
Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair
Always
Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair
Always
Lie to me, cry to me, give to me, I would
Lie with me, die with me, give to me, I would
Hope that we die holding hands
Always
Hope that we die holding hands
Always
Hope that we die holding hands
Always
