Claws in Your Back

Collecting the circles
 That tell us how old we are beneath our eyelids
 Wearing a purple badge to prove what I did
 Pump the vitals out of my wrist
 'Cause I'm conducting an experiment on how it feels to die
 ♪
 Or stay alive
 So try to stay calm, 'cause nobody knows
 The violent partner you carry around
 With claws in your back, ripping your clothes
 And listing your failures out loud
 It's more than the skeleton next to my coat
 The black that I held in the back of my throat
 Follows you straight into the dark
 The easy way out and the hardest part
 
 When it won't leave me alone
 I'm better off learning how to be
 Living with demons I've mistaken for saints
 If you keep it between us I think they're the same
 ♪
 I think I can love the sickness you made
 'Cause I take it all back, I change my mind
 I wanted to stay, I wanted to stay
