Stop and look around,
see there's hardly one
who isn't living inside
unsteady engulfing lie.
Unsigned and undesired,
Untold by the mouth of the blind,
unsung by the voice of my pride,
I feel so alive,
And I take all this like a farewell kiss
and I raise from my knees
cause there's no police
to revenge upon my tears
so I keep my fist -
I'm a warrior miss
and my body's holding this.
I'm wicked but that's alright,
Can you read between those lines?
I protected you and I from a crime
To run from what's really fine.
But every time that you scattered your lies over me,
I did a bad, bad thing and I'm not scared of it
And every time you were comfortably numb to speak
You left me black spade hearted
It was your own twist
And now I found you right there down on your knees
Should I respect your feelings and accept your sins?
You left me oh spade hearted, twist...
Anyone who felt surprised,
Anyone who ever felt alive,
Anyone who scratched it out ones heart
Made a crime - you killed a child inside.
Bad actors, great pretenders,
Every night we make love like strangers.
In my heart there's a firestarter
You won't forget this ever after....
