Lyrics
[Not 100% accurate, due to not having the correct lyrics made available yet.]
Crushing Cheating Changing
Am I deaf or dead? Is this constricting construction, Or just streets with rusty signs, Of something violent Coming?
This will hurt you Worse than me. I'm weak, 7 days I'm weak. Don't run from me. I won't bother Counting 1, 2, 3…
I don't know which me that I love I've got no reflection I don't know which me that I love I've got no reflection
I can show myself How to make a noose. A gun's cliche, And a razor too. I'm not a death-trip vacation Vacant station, Made of scars And filled with my old wounds.
This will hurt you Worse than me. I'm weak, 7 days I'm weak. Don't run from me. I won't bother Counting 1, 2, 3…
I don't know which me that I love I've got no reflection I don't know which me that I love I've got no reflection
You… You don't even want to know What I'm gonna do to you You don't even want to know What I'm gonna do to you
I don't know which me that I love I've got no reflection I don't know which me that I love I've got no reflection No reflection No reflection I've got no reflection
