[Verse 1]
The taste of metal
Lingers in my mouth again
Do you feel powerful
Kicking all my teeth in?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna fight you, I don't want the right you
I don't want the violence, I don't want the pain
Do you feel better now
Knowing that you let me down?
[Chorus]
Promises painted chrome
I believed idly
Every word I could taste
The metal rusts, then we bleed
Promises bathed in chrome
Worthy of a coded phrase
The mirror fades, the iron rots
You'll always feel the painful loss
[Verse 2]
Contagious misery
Surrounding everything
Invasive memories
It's all I've ever known
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me devastation, your humiliation
All of your addiction, put me in your flesh
I'd rather you kill me
Than let me be the real me
[Chorus]
Promises painted chrome
I believed idly
Every word I could taste
The metal rusts, then we bleed
Promises bathed in chrome
Worthy of a coded phrase
The mirror fades, the iron rots
You'll always feel the painful loss
