Paper Skin
You're breaking my glass bones and paper skin
Keep asking myself why I let you in
We're smoke and mirrors
I don't mean to be ostentatious
But I can't believe a word you say
And I know that you're so salacious
Driving the point home
Yeah I know that this sounds reductive
But we know tomorrow never comes
Press your blue lips on my skin and
Tell me you hate me
Twisting the knife
Like I'm wanting you to
Do I need a lifeline
Or is this what we do
Like a blind eye
Turning tricks on the side
Feel the ice in my veins
You're breaking my glass bones and paper skin
Keep asking myself why I let you in
Burn brighter than the sun
Impermanence is all we've ever really known
Breaking my bones and paper skin
We're smoke and mirrors
Just smoke and mirrors
And I know that this might sound callous
Shift the blame onto the bruise on my neck
Twisting the knife
Like I'm wanting you to
Do I need a lifeline
Or is this what we do
Like a blind eye
Turning tricks on the side
Feel the ice in my veins
You're breaking my glass bones and paper skin
Keep asking myself why I let you in
Burn brighter than the sun
Impermanence is all we've ever really known
Breaking my bones and paper skin
We're smoke and mirrors
I don't mean to be ostentatious
Press your blue lips on my skin and
It's a nightmare
When you come around
Walk the tightrope
While you bring me down
Rot my brain
While you numb the pain
But I just can't blame you
You're breaking my glass bones and paper skin
Keep asking myself why I let you in
Burn brighter than the sun
Impermanence is all we've ever really known
Breaking my bones and paper skin
You're breaking my glass bones and paper skin
Keep asking myself why I let you in
Burn brighter than the sun
Impermanence is all we've ever really known
Breaking my bones and paper skin
We're smoke and mirrors
Keep asking myself why I let you in
We're smoke and mirrors
I don't mean to be ostentatious
But I can't believe a word you say
And I know that you're so salacious
Driving the point home
Yeah I know that this sounds reductive
But we know tomorrow never comes
Press your blue lips on my skin and
Tell me you hate me
Twisting the knife
Like I'm wanting you to
Do I need a lifeline
Or is this what we do
Like a blind eye
Turning tricks on the side
Feel the ice in my veins
You're breaking my glass bones and paper skin
Keep asking myself why I let you in
Burn brighter than the sun
Impermanence is all we've ever really known
Breaking my bones and paper skin
We're smoke and mirrors
Just smoke and mirrors
And I know that this might sound callous
Shift the blame onto the bruise on my neck
Twisting the knife
Like I'm wanting you to
Do I need a lifeline
Or is this what we do
Like a blind eye
Turning tricks on the side
Feel the ice in my veins
You're breaking my glass bones and paper skin
Keep asking myself why I let you in
Burn brighter than the sun
Impermanence is all we've ever really known
Breaking my bones and paper skin
We're smoke and mirrors
I don't mean to be ostentatious
Press your blue lips on my skin and
It's a nightmare
When you come around
Walk the tightrope
While you bring me down
Rot my brain
While you numb the pain
But I just can't blame you
You're breaking my glass bones and paper skin
Keep asking myself why I let you in
Burn brighter than the sun
Impermanence is all we've ever really known
Breaking my bones and paper skin
You're breaking my glass bones and paper skin
Keep asking myself why I let you in
Burn brighter than the sun
Impermanence is all we've ever really known
Breaking my bones and paper skin
We're smoke and mirrors
