Mildred Pierce - Mother Superior Lyrics

Come and bleach the veins of thought with me as the emptiness closes in
The life-line was made of barbed wire but I'd have held on until the end
I was in the dark for so long, but it should've been so clear
And I'm picking up the pieces while you smile from ear to ear
And you're so cold but I knew
And you're so cold... but I knew

And my windows
Been open for so long
But the smell of you
Won't seem to go
And I'd like to think I'm okay
Or to tell you that I'm not hurt
But it's shit that you played with fire
And I'm the one that got burnt

But that's just how it works

Following my feet, blistered by street light
Slipping on cold shoulders and getting cuts from your sharp eyes
And I'm getting bad vibrations, and I fear I've come to find
That half the f*ckin' truth
Is a sleazy f*ckin' lie

And my windows
Been open for so long
But the smell of you
Won't seem to go
And I'd like to think I'm okay
Or to tell you that I'm not hurt
But it's shit that you played with fire
And I'm the one that got burnt

You're so pretty, I'm so vacant
Pull the trigger I just can't take it
You're so pretty, I'm so vacant
Pull the trigger I just can't take it
You're so pretty, I'm so vacant
But nevermind, nevermind

And my windows
Been open for so long
But the smell of you
Won't seem to go
And I'd like to think I'm okay
Or to tell you that I'm not hurt
But it's shit that you played with fire
And I'm the one that got burnt
