Grieves - Gwenevieve lyrics

rate me

She said the world paints a picture, that makes her wanna run

Pull the stars out of the sky and load them into her gun

Live wire, broken and its taken its toll

You cant reach what has never been touched, its too cold

Cuz the sun dont shine for her, she said calmly its a fact

That she learnt to adapt, and move on with it

I dont know if I should smile or not

Or pull that ice box out of her chest and help her thaw

Cuz she fights like a lover, but sleeps with the enemy

And asks like shes only getting close, just to empty me

Gwenevieve, another hook for the line

And a perfect little painting of disaster in its prime

And I love it, solely cuz it makes me feel alive

When she sets the world ablaze and see the fire in my eyes

Shes the lion in disguise as the prey in the pasture

Breakdown, build up, agony, the rapture

[Bridge]

Look at you, the blood from it will taste like wine

And fill that little glass that you hold up high

You wanna walk with the shovel in line

Tried to bury every single little thing that ever made you feel alive

Youre alone now, just the way you drew it in the dust

And the walls that protect you from ever showing your trust

If I could show you what its like from the inside

Id open up that coffin you been hiding in and speak like

You dont need to see the fire to smell the gasoline

Toss another lit match to the bridge

Burn it down, burn it down,

Burn it down, burnt it down,

Burn it down, Gwenevieve you burn the whole world around you and

You dont need to huff the smoke for the cancer

Take another step away from your chance

Burn it down, burn it down,

Burn it down, burnt it down,

Burn it down, Gwenevieve and take a shower in its ashes

I wonder what happened to make you like this

Break it, and leave you throwing stones where the lights dim

You got a smile on your face like a sliced wrist

And grin like you got a couple spikes in that ice kiss

You like it, youre just too afraid to say it

So break it into pieces and add it to your mosaic

And nail it to your heart little artist, and protect it

And murder any perpetrator eyeing your investment

Cuz love cant bite you if you keep it on a leash

Fate cant catch you if you take away its feet

Life cant tell you shit without speech

So you hide where the lonely eyes on you couldnt seek

Youre alone, like the last dead petal on a rose

Picked from the common ground, just to watch it grow

Or die, Gwenevieve, a ghost in the night

Smell smoke, see the glow in her eyes, I try to tell you

You dont need to see the fire to smell the gasoline

Toss another lit match to the bridge

Burn it down, burn it down,

Burn it down, burnt it down,

Burn it down, Gwenevieve you burn the whole world around you and

You dont need to huff the smoke for the cancer

Take another step away from your chance

Burn it down, burn it down,

Burn it down, burnt it down,

Burn it down, Gwenevieve and take a shower in its ashes

You dont need to see the fire to smell the gasoline

Toss another lit match to the bridge

Burn it down, burn it down,

Burn it down, burnt it down,

Burn it down, Gwenevieve you burn the whole world around you and

You dont need to huff the smoke for the cancer

Take another step away from your chance

Burn it down, burn it down,

Burn it down, burnt it down,

Burn it down, Gwenevieve and take a shower in its ashes
