[Verse 1]
I was handcuffed to the brief case
I woke up with my memory erased
For a moment I thought we were safe
We can run all we want but we'll never escape this
Seems like I can never relax
We can try but you know it won't last
Eyes wide with my foot on the gas
Took the turn too wide and I couldn't correct it
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep your secrets, you might find that I know you better than you think
I'm stuck in your love
See you sharpening your fangs before you bite down
See you creep in like a spider crawls down your throat while you sleep
And it keeps on tumbling down
[Chorus]
How can I tell you what I don't know?
I saw you wink through the cigarette smoke
I know you don't hesitate with your violence
Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids
How can I tell you what I don't know?
I saw you wink through the cigarette smoke
I know you don't hesitate with your violence
Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids
[Verse 2]
I was trippin', I was faded off of love in a pill
I was revvin' up the engine, I was gone at the wheel
You administer the Venom then I'm floating away
I don't know what I was sippin', there was something in my drink
I was goin' fifty-five through the cemetery gates
It was somethin' on your mind, it was all over your face
You were quiet and composed, tell me what you got to say
Put the pedal to the floor as we narrowly escape
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep your secrets, you might find that I know you better than you think
I'm stuck in your love
See you sharpening your fangs before you bite down
See you creep in like a spider crawls down your throat while you sleep
And it keeps on tumbling down
[Chorus]
How can I tell you what I don't know?
I saw you wink through the cigarette smoke
I know you don't hesitate with your violence
Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids
How can I tell you what I don't know?
I saw you wink through the cigarette smoke
I know you don't hesitate with your violence
Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids
[Outro]
Long slow deep breaths
(I know you don't hesitate with your violence)
(Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids)
Burning my chest
(I know you don't hesitate with your violence)
(Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids)
