Nothing can save me now It's what I believe The slit in the sky when you left Is all I see Nothing to sing about I've bared all my leaves No vision of dreams about you Came true for me Cut through This razor wire And died on your heart Writhe 'till the end Stuck with illusion now I drown in your sea I hope that you first save yourself And then come for me Cut through This razor wire And died on your heart Writhe to the end Break through Collect the wires And writhe in your heart Writhe 'till the end Away, away, away Down deep into your veins All the way All the way Down deep in your heart All the way All the way, away Cut through (away) This razor wire (away) Writhe 'till the end Break through (away) Collect the wire (away) Died on your heart Writhe 'till the end
