[Pre-Chorus]

I am the soul of a nameless machine

I can only breathe, I can only breed, I can only bleed

Bleed out over her wishing it was me


[Chorus]

It’s a joke played by God on you and me

A cruel act of divinity

Only dreams of winter's dead leaves

Falling from trees, falling on me

Hanging three feet from the Earth that I can’t seem to leave

This hurts, this hurts

All I can do is dream of her

This hurts, this hurts

All I can do is bleed with her

This hurts


[Breakdown]

First I’ll slit your throat and let you bleed out

Then I’ll use a knife to carve your eyes out

First I’ll slit your throat and let you bleed out

Then I’ll use a knife to carve your eyes out


[Verse]

Everyone missing our last laugh

Just broken hearts and shattered glass

Just two ghosts from the past

Screaming love songs

Hung by your words, they wore me down

I’m swimming out to sea and I don’t want to be found


[Bridge]

Which one of you?

Tried to save me

Which one of you?

Tried to stop me

Which one of you?

Which one of you?


[Pre-Chorus]

I am the soul of a nameless machine

I can only breathe, I can only breed, I can only bleed

Bleed out over her wishing it was me


[Chorus]

It’s a joke played by God on you and me

A cruel act of divinity

Only dreams of winter's dead leaves

Falling from trees, falling on me

Hanging three feet from the Earth that I can’t seem to leave

This hurts, this hurts

All I can do is dream of her
