She said the world paints a picture, that makes her wanna run Pull the stars out of the sky and load them into her gun Live wire, broken and it's taken it's toll You can't reach what has never been touched, it's too cold Cause the sun don't shine for her, she said calmly it's a fact That she learnt to adapt, and move on with it I don't know if I should smile or not Or pull that ice box out of her chest and help her thaw Cause she fights like a lover, but sleeps with the enemy And asks like shes only getting close, just to empty me Gwenevieve, another hook for the line And a perfect little painting of disaster in it's prime And I love it, solely cause it makes me feel alive When she sets the world ablaze and see the fire in my eyes Shes the lion in disguise as the prey in the pasture Breakdown, build up, agony, the rapture
[Bridge:] Look at you, the blood from it will taste like wine And fill that little glass that you hold up high You wanna walk with the shovel in line Tried to bury every single little thing that ever made you feel alive You're alone now, just the way you drew it in the dust And the walls that protect you from ever showing your trust If I could show you what it's like from the inside Id open up that coffin you been hiding in and speak like
You don't need to see the fire to smell the gasoline Toss another lit match to the bridge Burn it down, burn it down, Burn it down, burnt it down, Burn it down, Gwenevieve you burn the whole world around you and You don't need to huff the smoke for the cancer Take another step away from your chance Burn it down, burn it down, Burn it down, burnt it down, Burn it down, Gwenevieve and take a shower in it's ashes
I wonder what happened to make you like this Break it, and leave you throwing stones where the lights dim You got a smile on your face like a sliced wrist And grin like you got a couple spikes in that ice kiss You like it, you're just too afraid to say it So break it into pieces and add it to your mosaic And nail it to your heart little artist, and protect it And murder any perpetrator eyeing your investment Cause love can't bite you if you keep it on a leash Fate can't catch you if you take away it's feet Life can't tell you shit without speech So you hide where the lonely eyes on you could'ntseek You're alone, like the last dead petal on a rose Picked from the common ground, just to watch it grow Or die, Gwenevieve, a ghost in the night Smell smoke, see the glow in her eyes, I try to tell you
You don't need to see the fire to smell the gasoline Toss another lit match to the bridge Burn it down, burn it down, Burn it down, burnt it down, Burn it down, Gwenevieve you burn the whole world around you and You don't need to huff the smoke for the cancer Take another step away from your chance Burn it down, burn it down, Burn it down, burnt it down, Burn it down, Gwenevieve and take a shower in it's ashes
You don't need to see the fire to smell the gasoline Toss another lit match to the bridge Burn it down, burn it down, Burn it down, burnt it down, Burn it down, Gwenevieve you burn the whole world around you and You don't need to huff the smoke for the cancer Take another step away from your chance Burn it down, burn it down, Burn it down, burnt it down, Burn it down, Gwenevieve and take a shower in it's ashes
