I wanna feel the backlash
The range of emotion settling across your face
Let me taste the ways that you hate me
Bury me, unmarked by the highway
Leave it all behind, you'll be fine
Or so they say
I know you like your nails
Sharp and filed
Dagger points, matte black lines
Just to prove you look so good
But they're just lies
Throwaways to help you settle in
The night's still young
Lift your chin, there's blood running from your nose
It's all fine, you'll be just fine
Don't believe them, love
You're just so young, we're just so young
I've got the fire of youth in me
Angst in my veins
Bleed me dry
I wanna set fire to this place
Hold my hand, we'll take it slow
Watch it go from afar
It doesn't scare me, does it scare you?
