lyrics

Old knives need not remembering anymore.
I know why I'm here, what are you in here for?
These blades are thirsty and I've got a friend at the morgue.
After last time, he won't let me visit no more.

Came for the money but I stayed for the love.
My pockets empty but to you I succumb.
These blades are thirsty and I've got a friend at the morgue.
After last time, he won't let me visit no more.

Revive the light in my eyes
I still can't see in the dark.
My body's all in one piece
My mind is falling apart.
Easy come, easy go
Now you reap what you sew.
My body's all in one piece.
My mind is falling apart.

Please, make me sleep in my cell tonight.
And let me out when I can tell you what's right and what's wrong.
I know you'll let me live, I know you'll let me go.
But I know that you'll go too, when I say what's wrong with you.

And it's a lie if this is our last goodbye.
But maybe if you blink the diamonds out of your eyes.
I'll take you home, I'll see this through.
Because we both know I'm what wrong with you.

Revive the light in my eyes
I still can't see in the dark.
My body's all in one piece
My mind is falling apart.
Easy come, easy go
Now you reap what you sew.
My body's all in one piece.
My mind is falling apart.
