Clean Breaks

I believe in clean breaks,

I keep the old troubles away

But you're making sure

I was lying when I said

"I can leave,

This behind"

I need you to ruin me

For this, finally,

'Cause it's burying me

Now, I'm in these old knots

Each move keeps me locked away

With each new embrace,

I have tied myself up.

More tightly,

Into you

Oh, but the more I fight

Then the deeper I'm trapped

And I can't break free of this

hold that you have

And I crave you more

Under the heat of your touch

And I need your skin

To ruin me

For this wicked town

Where your ghosts are bound

To me

One last sacrifice

Of this ritual escape

I was lying when I said...

"I believe,

in clean breaks"
