SALT (feat. Oli Sykes)

You clean your teeth before you bite
 Why is it me you have to spite?
 I gave in, my flag's white
 And suddenly, you're so contrite
 I used to draw hearts 'round your name
 Now I just draw blood to face another day
 (Without you by my side to pull my heart)
 And you know I'm not one to make a scene
 (The bitter taste of kerosene)
 But I'm gonna love to see you scream
 Pouring salt in my cuts
 Tears make up my blood now
 Twist the knife in my gut
 To break all my trust
 I thought the worst was over
 Thought you held me like a lover
 Star-crossed in the middle of summer
 Torn apart like the paper I'd draw on
 Never thought we'd be so self-serving
 Breaking me down to nothing
 Pouring salt in my cuts
 Tears make up my blood now
 Twist the knife in my gut
 To break all my trust
 You pull the same thing every night
 Why do we still have to fight?
 I gave up, my flag's white
 Just to pretend we're alright
 Pouring salt in my cuts (is this what we really want?)
 Tears make up my blood now (all of this, not my fault)
 Twist the knife in my gut (to think you gave me the time)
 To break all my trust (drained all the blood from my heart)
