I crave self destruction I crave bleeding veins And sleepless nights spent in a fit of craze Mascara smeared And fresh white scars Like a flag Betray the heart I crave desperation I crave a hollowed syringe And the feeling in your stomach standing on the edge of a bridge One false move One small slip And there you go Lost to the abyss I crave contamination I crave a stranger’s touch And crave to readily welcome just as much Both in romance and rivalry Biting lips Or clashing fists Teeth sinking into skin Tongues grazing wrists I crave pain I crave adrenaline Knowing the mistress, Danger Making love to her But I can’t seem to find her here So I search in the bottles I search with my knuckles against the walls With metal on my thighs And poisonous, addicting, burning lies I crave And I search And I crave And I search And I climb and climb And ride the high Of flirting with Danger My, oh my But it’s been a while now since she’s flipped my switch ‘Careful, now,’ she whispers And at last I lose my grip

Crave
I crave self destruction I crave bleeding veins And sleepless nights spent in a fit of craze Mascara smeared And fresh white scars Like a flag Betray the heart I crave desperation I crave a hollowed syringe And the feeling in your stomach standing on the edge of a bridge One false move One small slip And there you go Lost to the abyss I crave contamination I crave a stranger’s touch And crave to readily welcome just as much Both in romance and rivalry Biting lips Or clashing fists Teeth sinking into skin Tongues grazing wrists I crave pain I crave adrenaline Knowing the mistress, Danger Making love to her But I can’t seem to find her here So I search in the bottles I search with my knuckles against the walls With metal on my thighs And poisonous, addicting, burning lies I crave And I search And I crave And I search And I climb and climb And ride the high Of flirting with Danger My, oh my But it’s been a while now since she’s flipped my switch ‘Careful, now,’ she whispers And at last I lose my grip
