Protest The Hero - Hair-Trigger lyrics

rate me

That sweet little redhead?s got her hooks in my back

She points her finger and she shows me what I lack

Her pale skin, it burns so hot in the midnight air

She paints the streets a shade of gray around my chair so come on in

Her heartbreak on my skin and her scent on my fingers

Her taste is on my mind

It constantly lingers

'Till I can (breathe?) her

'Till I can believe her

'Till I can (breathe?) her

'Till I can leave her

Every kiss is a little sickening

I can feel Death?s fingers quickening

Tightening my passageways

If you can?t count the years, start counting down

Try to remember that she hates you

And though she might elate you,

She tries to kill the great that?s in you now

And she?s happening to the fate that awaits you now

And despite her words, it?s not too late

I wrote a Goddamn love song to praise everything I hate

And kids were wanting the chorus line,

And assailed my picture?s frame

She might run shit for right now but I?ll be damned if it?s forever and always

As the chorus-line fades away like friends in high-school, always

Oh, I got this feeling

And things will never, ever, ever be the same

Things will never be the same

What about those rainy nights in London?

What about the crippling desert heat?

What about all those times you swore you?d never leave me?

What about the hospital in L.A.?

You took me back after that night

What about that blackened image in my mind?

I swear I burn with a new light

What about that (frozen, dripping, holiday burn) that?s cold

She?s cold as ice!
