Justine Perry

Verse One
Mini-dress at 3am because I love the creeps
Innocent and lost alone until I make them bleed

Pre-Chorus
Every night
I’m picking fights
I’m digging my own grave
At seedy clubs
I’m out for blood
It might run from my veins

Chorus
Every night
I’m picking fights
I’m digging my own grave
‘Cause I can’t rest in peace
Please someone bury me

Verse Two
I love to walk the streets while the decent people sleep
But how decent can they be when they did this to me?

Pre-Chorus
Every night
I’m picking fights
I’m digging my own grave
At seedy clubs
I’m out for blood
It might run from my veins

Chorus
Every night
I’m picking fights
I’m digging my own grave
‘Cause I can’t rest in peace
Please someone bury me

Bridge
I sleep with the sun and rise with the moon
If I perish tonight, it’s too late and too soon
I should care about the vampires
But I’m not scared of that good night
I’ve given you the knife
So do the deed I can’t

Final Chorus
Every night
I’m picking fights
I’m digging my own grave
I want to rest in peace
Please, won’t you bury me?

Verse One
I’m manic
Satanic, if you believe the masses
What happened
Exactly, I don’t know but it’s tragic

Pre-Chorus
I thought life would be more than this revolving door

Chorus
When they’re done
I wonder why I wasn’t good enough
Mad heavy little grievances
And they forget their promises

When they’re gone
I ask myself just where it all went wrong
With you, it’s round the other way
I don’t know why you stay

Verse Two
I’m manic
Volcanic, a home you won’t abandon
It’s baffling
It’s staggering, it’s sanity and madness

Pre-Chorus
I thought life would be more but somehow, I’m still yours

Chorus
When they’re done
I wonder why I wasn’t good enough
Mad heavy little grievances
And they forget their promises

When they’re gone
I ask myself just where it all went wrong
With you, it’s round the other way
I don’t know why you stay

Bridge
If I wake up and your bags are packed
You know I wouldn’t question that
But I think we’re till the end
And, no, it doesn’t make much sense

Chorus
When they’re done
I wonder why I wasn’t good enough
Mad heavy little grievances
And they forget their promises

When they’re gone
I ask myself just where it all went wrong
With you, it’s round the other way
I don’t know why you stay

Ending
With you, it’s round the other way
I don’t know why you stay

Verse One
I wish someone would hold me
Tell me it will be all right
But it doesn’t matter
It would just be lies

Verse Two
There’s more chance of you caring
Than a night that I won’t cry
Of all the things you’ve stolen
The worst of these is time

Bridge
It’s like trying to get there
Burdened by a heavy weight
I tell everyone I’m healing
But the wound still feels the same
Years down the line, tell me, will I feel this way?
Mother Mary, help me if I take this to the grave

Chorus
Nothing but guilt would watch over you tonight
If heartache was visible on the outside
Somebody would help me; someone would save my life
If heartache was visible on the outside

Verse Three
You’d always take a handout
And then punch me in the face
Time is no great healer
Not when the memories ache

Verse Four
I don’t get how you’ve blocked me
I see no barricades
No one thinks you’ve stopped me
But they don’t feel the strain

Bridge
It’s like trying to get there
Burdened by a heavy weight
I tell everyone I’m healing
But the wound still feels the same
Years down the line, tell me, will I feel this way?
Mother Mary, help me if I take this to the grave

Chorus
Nothing but guilt would watch over you tonight
If heartache was visible on the outside
Somebody would help me; someone would save my life
If heartache was visible on the outside

Climax
I didn’t have sharp edges
Till you broke me into pieces
If you’re really bleeding
It’s not a big surprise

I didn’t have sharp edges
Till you crushed me into pieces
Any sting you’re feeling
Is a fraction of my pain

Chorus
Nothing but guilt would watch over you tonight
If heartache was visible on the outside
Somebody would help me; someone would save my life
If heartache was visible on the outside

Chorus
Nothing but guilt would watch over you tonight
If heartache was visible on the outside
Somebody would help me; someone would save my life
If heartache was visible on the outside

Verse One
We were like sunflowers
On a cold, winter’s day
Beautiful but impossible
To sustain

Chorus Part One
I’ve forever found the meaning of bittersweet pain
Every time I watched us blossom
I knew we’d fade away

Verse Two
You live like gunpowder
Barrels in the night
Harmless but so dangerous
Set alight

Chorus Part One
I’ve forever found the meaning of bittersweet pain
Every time I watched us blossom
I knew we’d fade away

Chorus Part Two
I’ve forever found the meaning of bittersweet pain
We’ve finally reached the bottom
Beaten by the flames

Climax
Last time was the last time
I’ll ever beg to stay
We were something beautiful
We’ll never be again
We fell through life, so fragile
We’ll never breathe again

Chorus Part One
I’ve forever found the meaning of bittersweet pain
Every time I watched us blossom
I knew we’d fade away

Chorus Part Two
I’ve forever found the meaning of bittersweet pain
We’ve finally reached the bottom
Beaten by the flames

Ending
You live like gunpowder
Barrels in the night
Harmless but so dangerous
When you find a light

We’ve finally reached the bottom
Beaten by the flames
