0:01I see the slashes on your legs
0:03And the smile on your face again
0:09Blood is drying on your fingernails
0:11Laughing at something that I said
0:16Were you still sitting 'hind the stairs
0:18With the new boy in your hair when I left
0:24You seem to recognize my face
0:26But my hands feel like somebody else's
0:33I blanked last night when you told me
0:37I blanked last night when you told me twice
0:40I blanked last night when you told me
0:44I blanked last night when you told me twice
0:51You cut your hair off with a blade
0:53Didn't want a single trace that poor girl
0:59The water couldn't get you clean
1:01So you burned your skin instead with the curl
1:06You live in your hell
1:06I watched an angel cut the sky
1:08Feathers plucked from flight
1:10Just to torture yourself
1:10And she sunk right through the ground
1:12From colossal heights
1:13Tell me what could I do
1:14When she cried out for my name
1:16I didn't hesitate
1:17The moment when the flies fell
1:18I screamed "I cannot be your saint
1:20I know you can't be saved"
1:23I blanked last night when you told me
1:27I blanked last night when you told me twice
1:30I blanked last night when you told me
1:34I blanked last night when you told me twi-
1:38I blanked last night when you told me
1:42I blanked last night when you told me twice
1:46I blanked last night when you told me
1:50I blanked last night when you told me twice
I see the slashes on your legs And the smile on your face again Blood is drying on your fingernails Laughing at something that I said Were you still sitting 'hind the stairs With the new boy in your hair when I left You seem to recognize my face But my hands feel like somebody else's I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice You cut your hair off with a blade Didn't want a single trace that poor girl The water couldn't get you clean So you burned your skin instead with the curl You live in your hell I watched an angel cut the sky Feathers plucked from flight Just to torture yourself And she sunk right through the ground From colossal heights Tell me what could I do When she cried out for my name I didn't hesitate The moment when the flies fell I screamed "I cannot be your saint I know you can't be saved" I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twi- I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice I blanked last night when you told me I blanked last night when you told me twice
