[Intro]

Everybody wants to talk but they never listen

Blank faces seeing every fucking thing through tunnel vision

You turned your back, your skin like ice

Head down, eyes shut, blood breath, suffocation


[Verse 1]

Needle to the eye

I will never lie

These scars paint a picture that I'm forced to hide

I will never, I will never

How many nights spent in collapse

Collecting the knives you left in my back

I’ll cauterise the wounds with every inch of vomit

You called a promise

But fuck that, it’s not enough

It never will be

Feel no guilt but your hands are still dirty

I’d lie on a rusty bed of nails and you’d still walk over me


[Pre-Chorus]

You’re the deadweight constricting my chest

Only the lonely will hold me like this


[Chorus]

Fuck your mind games

I don't play safe

I hope you’re satisfied

Looking for answers but you can’t even look me in the eye

Fuck your mind games

I don't play safe

And I will see this through

So motherfucker look at me when I’m talking to you


[Post-Chorus]

Coward


[Verse 2]

It’s time to shake the rust off the chains

Buried resent in your face

Tear apart the walls dismantle the frame

Neglect but you will remember my name


[Bridge]

How many times do I have to cry out before this is felt?

How many times did I stand by your fucking side?

Not enough, never was, never will be


[Breakdown]

You abandoned me (abandoned me)


[Pre-Chorus]

You're the deadweight constricting my chest

Only the lonely will hold me like this


[Chorus]

Fuck your mind games

I don't play safe

I hope you're satisfied

Looking for answers but you can't even look me in the eyes

Fuck your mind games

I don't play safe

And I will see this through

So motherfucker look at me when I talk to you
