Skinny Lies - The Funeral Portrait
You're chasing shadows in the sky with all the vampires
Biting into all the stars still left alive
Lips of velvet but your tongue is like a chainsaw
What is left to say
That I haven't said?
If I'm not what you need, then I don't wanna know
But the words in your mouth cut right to the bone
I wanna go back to what it was before
Just you and I and skinny lies
Do you really wanna get what you wish for?
Did you forget that we're all human after all
Don't look at me and lick your teeth like I'm your savior
Baby, just bite down
If I'm not what you need, then I don't wanna know
But the words in your mouth cut right to the bone
I wanna go back to what it was before
Just you and I and skinny lies
It's like you never knew me
Or maybe I don't know myself
And when you look right through me
All you'll find are skinny lies
Look at what we've done
Threw our secrets out into the sun
There ain't no time
Just you and I and skinny lies
If I'm not what you need, then I don't wanna know
But the words in your mouth cut right to the bone
I wanna go back to what it was before
Just you and I and skinny lies
If I'm not what you need, then I don't wanna know
But the words in your mouth cut right to the bone
I wanna go back to what it was before
Just you and I and skinny lies
It's like you never knew me
Or maybe I don't know myself
And when you look right through me
All you'll find are skinny lies
