Bleeding Mascara

Album: The Curse (2004)

  • A wraith with an angel's body
    A demon with a smile of gold
    You soul-sucker
    I won't become like you

    A killer with the perfect weapons
    Crystal eyes and a heart of coal
    You soul-sucker
    I won't lose myself in you

    Look how pretty she is
    When she falls down
    Now there is no beauty in bleeding mascara
    Her lips are quivering
    Like a withering rose
    She's back again

    What the fuck do you think love means?
    It's much more than words and feelings
    Sucking me dry
    Is my marrow that sweet?

    Your dead lovers have left a trail of
    Broken hearts and misspent hopes
    Sucking them dry
    Does their marrow taste of sweetness
    Sweetness?
    I hope you choke

    Look how pretty she is
    When she falls down
    Now there is no beauty in bleeding mascara
    Her lips are quivering
    Like a withering rose
    She's back again
    She's back a-
    She's back again
    She's back Writer/s: Brandon Saller, Daniel Jacobs, Ektor Varkatzas, Travis Miguel
