When you came into my life, I was lost
And you took that shine to me
At what cost?
You recognised the smell
Human pain
Said, "I'd learn to love the chain"
It was

Shit, shit, shit
Battered
I caved in
My promise
Was shattered
Amazing stats from the dreaming
I made
A promise and I killed it
Shit, shit, shit, shit
Battered
I live meretricious
You shattered
Amazing stars from the drink
I made
A promise

When you said I taste like sleep
I was dead
When will you step in the room out of your head?
You said that I was bad
That was fine
When you said I could be good, I wouldn't have it
There's a certain kind of air
In the smoke
Must be some amount of truth
In the joke
For it to make them laugh
Ha-ha-ha
And teary faces know the craft

Shit, shit, shit
Battered
I caved in, my promise
Was clattered
Amazing stars from the drink
I made a promise
And I killed it
Shit, shit, shit, shit
Battered
A whole life meretricious
You shattered
Amazing stars from my dreamin'
I made a promise
And I killed it

Shit, shit, shit
Battered
I caved in, my promise
Was clattered
Amazing stars from the drink
I made a promise
