1998 - Mechanical Animals - 06 - The Speed of Pain
They slit our throats Like we were flowers And our milk has been devoured
When you want it, it goes away too fast When you hate it, it always seems to last But just remember, when you think you're free, The crack inside you fucking heart is me
(thought, not spoken): I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day
And I wish I could sleep But I can't lay on my back Because there's a knife For everyday that I've known you
When you want it, it goes away too fast Times you hate it always seem to last Just remember, when you think you're free, The crack inside your fucking heart is me
(thought, not spoken): I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day
Lie to me, cry to me, give to me I would Lie with me, die with me, give to me I would
Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair I hope at least we die holding hands for always
