lyrics

i never learn, after nothing but hurt
when you open your mouth, i go silent as if
to let go of a word would deny me of health
and you flutter your eyes, dark blue in the half-light
and i shudder inside, feel a feverish fire
wild within me

you’ve shaken the earth
in this little life of mine
you’ve torn up the ground
i'm holding on for my life

i never learn that this always ends in hurt
i rip off pieces of nails, leave a trail on the floor
hear your voice carry up and careen off the walls
and i itch at the sound, i feel you so far away
rose thorns in my sides, i would claw at the door
were you on the other side

you’ve broken the dam
in this little life i lead
you’ve sent in a flood
to wash away all the warnings i didn’t heed

i will do
whatever you ask me to
when you flash those gilded eyes at me
i will do
whatever you ask me to
and you know damn well that you’ve got me
between your teeth

i never learn, no, i never learn
but i have faith that one day i’ll get sick of the burn
and i’ll turn away from all this shit for good
but until then i’ll try my best
to make the most of this unforgiving mess
i can’t turn away, no, i can’t turn away, no, no
