And then suddenly a hint of blood, a shout

And then suddenly a hint of blood, a shout

You were turning down your face I held you tight

You were turning down your face I held you tight

You were turning down your face I held you tight

I want it open

So cut it open, cut it open

So you could see through it

And now I'm lace-like

And now I'm lace-like

Now I'm lace-like

Now I'm lace-like

Now I'm lace-like for the rain to come through

Now I'm lace-like for the rain to come through

I try

But to live with all the numbers you shed

But to live with all the numbers you shed

But I fail again

But I fail again

'Cause 52 is stuck in my head

'Cause 52 is stuck in my head

On the 23rd of them, we lived as one

We were winded but nothing had come undone

We were winded but nothing had come undone

We were winded but nothing had come undone

We were winded but nothing had come undone

I want it open

So cut it open, cut it open

So cut it open, cut it open

So you could see through me
