The taste of metal
Lingers in my mouth
Do you feel powerful?
Kicking all my teeth in
I don't wanna fight you
I don't want the right you
I don't want the violence
I don't want the pain
Do you feel better now?
Knowing that you let me down
Promises bathed in chrome
I believed idly
Every word I could taste
The metal rusts, then we bleed
Promises bathed in chrome
Worthy of a coded phrase
The mirror fades, the iron rots
You'll always feel a painful loss
Contagious misery
Surrounding everything
Invasive memories
It's all I've ever known
Give me devastation
Your humiliation
All of your addiction
Put me in your flesh
I'd rather you kill me
Than let me be the real me
Promises bathed in chrome
I believed idly
Every word I could taste
The metal rusts, then we bleed
Promises bathed in chrome
Worthy of a coded phrase
The mirror fades, the iron rots
You'll always feel a painful loss
