[Verse 1: ClockworC]

You ask me how I'm doing and I tell you the truth

I got a lot but I feel I got nothing to lose

I call truce and you living footloose two step issues yea

I'm giving you my best and you take misuse

You play down and it played out

Go rounds and it feel like the same song fade out

Fat lady letting last note rang out

I been broke and you still shake down

Crime scene up in your eyes and I'm failing to take caution

Energy enemy bringing heavenly toxin

Holding everything hostage never takin' no losses

What's mine is yours and what's mine exhausted, uh

Hold each other but we miles apart I can't

See the point when you that damn far but then

Everything comes back around and if you'll lash me then

I know you'll lash me now

And it's a god damn shame we been living this way

Storm done came and we caught in the waves

Try to have faith in the midst of pain but nah

Nothin ever change when you running in place

I caught a bad vibe before the love died

If two wrongs make right then we living in a paradise

I know you scared of heights but you been falling down

So let me go before you hit that ground


[Chorus: ClockworC]

You say

Dance on broken glass

So I grab that devil and two step through the night

You chain

Me to you and laugh

Don't pretend my pain ain't getting you so high


[Verse 2: ClockworC]

I'm living as a fiend no fix

Shove it all in but the hole too big

Black hole lovin' you a star in the mix you could

Supernova nope I won't flinch I'm gone

Far too long since my sense been all but lost

I stay down but the high gone cost

Heat seek find us hearts on frost are they ever gon thaw

Hell nah been living in ya cell too long

Rockin in the rubble ain't enough to build on

You'd swallow yo pride if it pill form

Used to wanna kill for now you wanna kill shot

Suicide by love baby times up

You and I break up but I stay stuck

I'll play dead but I won't play dumb

In the end I'm just left to rust


[Bridge 1: ClockworC]

You're filling up your syringe

You stick that needle in and I'm yours

You try to fight again

But I'm too comfortable in this war


[Chorus: ClockworC]

You say

Dance on broken glass

So I grab that devil and two step through the night

You chain

Me to you and laugh

Don't pretend my pain ain't getting you so high


[Bridge 2: ClockworC]

Lucky me you are the cracks in my reflection

And I hide in you cause I'm so fucking codependent


[Chorus: ClockworC]

You say

Dance on broken glass

So I grab that devil and two step through the night

You chain

Me to you and laugh

Don't pretend my pain ain't getting you so high

You say

Dance on broken glass

So I grab that devil and two step through the night

You chain

Me to you and laugh

Don't pretend my pain ain't getting you so high
