  • From my perch these mountains rise like razors
    Against the slow weight of the night
    These little lights burn like lighted fires
    Along the jagged walls
    Somewhere out there a fresh face is cutting lines
    On a heated plate
    Somewhere out there she just sacrificed her life

    Something's wrong with me
    For thinking something's right with you
    Now my thoughts float like moths
    Over a fading flame
    Something's wrong with me
    For thinking something's right with you
    Now I'm lost inside the smog
    Choking on the shame
    (It tastes like suicide, a sweet death I can't deny)

    From my perch these broken birds are calling
    Singing their siren song
    They mesmerize
    I forget to fly
    Somewhere out there I just sacrificed my life

    Something's wrong with me
    For thinking something's right with you
    Now my thoughts float like moths
    Over a fading flame
    Something's wrong with me
    For thinking something's right with you
    Now I'm lost inside the smog
    Choking on the shame

    We roam the night like wild animals
    We chew into passive mammals
    In cold blood!
    In cold blood!
    My fingertips touch her lips
    To quiet the sins she commits
    In cold blood!
    In cold blood!

    (It tastes like suicide)

    Something's wrong with me
    For thinking something's right with you
    Now my thoughts float like moths
    Over a fading flame
    Something's wrong with me
    For thinking something's right with you
    Now I'm lost inside the smog
    Choking on the shame

    Something's wrong with me
    For thinking something's right with you
    Now my thoughts float like moths
    Over a fading flame
    Something's wrong with me
    For thinking something's right with you
    Now I'm lost inside the smog
    Choking on the shame
    (A sweet death I can't deny) Writer/s: ARISTOTELIS MIHALOPOULOS, JUSTIN KIER, OTEP SHAMAYA
