I've been on the left side of my right mind
Searching for the right time to tell you I'm done
When your house of cards comes crashing down
I won't be around to slam the door and walk out
So keep your salty cheeks
And the sides of you I have to meet
Close to that chest filled with the scars
That somehow make their home on my heart
Oh she's a silver-tongued, hot-blooded devil
With her eyes sewn shut, to anything but trouble
Left with the taste of silver in my mouth
She's still holding my breath down
Left with the taste of silver in my mouth
She's still holding my breath down
And the big rig oil spill in the ocean of my thoughts
Has led me to believe that something went wrong
And I can't help thinking it was all my fault
Because you couldn't help thinking what I thought
Pulled the pillow from under my head in the middle of the night
An act in the shadows behind my line of sight
You said take off your coat and leave it here
Little did I know it would be gone in a year
Oh she's a silver-tongued, hot-blooded devil
With her eyes sewn shut, to anything but trouble
Left with the taste of silver in my mouth
She's still holding my breath down
Left with the taste of silver in my mouth
She's still holding my breath down
That face can't lie
You've got the
World on fire
In your mind
And that's the trick
She's behind your back and scratching it
With her razor sharp dagger
Left with the taste of silver in my mouth
She's still holding my breath down
Left with the taste of silver in my mouth
She's still holding my breath down
