Hold onto chance Lest we bleed ourselves Save for the pets They're the loneliest Put into jars We'll save this earth Put into jars We'll save the earth We can't both become the same Pawn that's made to fall Oil that tastes like blood Stole the summer scent From me to you You're stabbing me through you You're stabbing you through him And betting most of This world We'll add enough of the world Steal from yourselves It never felt so good And feed from their hand's Confuse by opposites Put into jars We'll save this earth Put into jars Keep safe this earth We can't both become the same Pawn that's made to fall Oil that tastes like blood Stole the summer scent From me to you You're stabbing me through you You're stabbing you through him And betting most of This world We'll add enough of the world This world We'll add enough of the world Feeling manic for a day Depends on the trends Depends on the surface If the sun never sets We can't both become the same Pawn that's made to fall Oil that tastes like blood Stole the summer scent From me to you You're stabbing me through you You're stabbing you through him And betting most of This world We'll add enough of the world Is the main thing you'll shout Till the bitter end Into jars
