lyrics

Love is a bitch she said to me
You die a little bit inside every time it calls your name
All for a bit of pleasure that fades away
Well, I reply, so does everything

You can die inside a million times
But if you're still alive, what does that really mean?
Maybe it's a sign that everything you die inside for
Might just mean something

So now I'll say
Like a razor blade in my arm
Take my hand, dive inside of the sun
'Cause you know my dear, we won't be here for long
So let's burn together before we're gone

I don't agree, she said to me
Your argument is based on a flawed idea
That joy must come with its evil twin
Well I've been happy and loveless dear

Sure, and you can take all the drugs in the world
To try and make your emotions go away
But in the end you're just freezing out the life you wanna live
Because you're too afraid to face the pain

Life's a razor blade in the skin
Tearing you up, making you scream
But the open door it lets in so much besides
So let's bleed together, before we die

So like a razor blade in our arms
Let's fly together into the sun
The pain is worth it, I will hear you say
When we're old and happy, at the end of the day
