[Verse 1]

Careless cause of action, I'm in love with killing time

Blood on all these walls, I'm still surrounded by your crimes

Do you ever think about this portrait the [?]?

Cold as all your actions are, it's hard to change the course


[Chorus]

Own up to these relics, ancient tales won't feed my pain

I'm down for the count, numb to all your old ways

Don't run if you're so close to all these edges

It's a test, it's a game, no need to lose your virtue


[Verse 2]

Leave no stone unturned, I'm catching snakes behind the bricks

Concrete codes of conduct give me leverage when we shift

Searching for the truth, I've got intolerance to pain

Hard to clear the closets, blood and sacrifice remain

We've got chemistry, this alchemy is hard to lose

Tainted kisses, lips so septic drip from [?]

I won't make the most of it, just leave when spring is through

There won’t be a need for cold remorse

As long as you don’t leave me


[Chorus]

Own up to these relics, ancient tales won't feed my pain

I'm down for the count, numb to all your old ways

Don't run if you're so close to all these edges

It's a test, it's a game, no need to lose your virtue


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

Own up to these relics, ancient tales won't feed my pain

I'm down for the count, numb to all your old ways

Don't run if you're so close to all these edges

It's a test, it's a game
