Sending  shivers right  down your spine
 It's something  that you're prone  to so divine
You  were better at lies (I was never surprised)
 at the way that it felt
 Now feel the blade (I was always insane)
 but you're the one  that needs help
(Quick!)  We have the ransom
Tell  me how that you can swim when ropes  are wrapped around  your limbs
(Below!)  There's no more chances
 
 So  tell me now if you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs
Breathing  slowly never worked  for me
I  cut the throat of betrayal to watch  him bleed
a  poetic sonnet, passion  that I scream to the sky
I'm  tearing up, I feel your love,  don't leave  me behind
a  poetic sonnet, passion  that I scream to the sky
I'm  tearing up, I feel your love,  don't leave  me behind
The  smell of vanity, it went  away
I  followed streetlights till I wound  up at  your place
We  traced our veins (we bled for days)
 The current was strong enough tonight
 I can't taste any more
 It lasted on  my tongue
 You weren't strong enough to say
(Quick!)  We have the ransom
Tell  me how that you can swim when ropes  are wrapped around  your limbs
(Below!)  There's no more chances
 
 So  tell me now if you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs
Grab my  heart
Take  this  down
With  your  soul
 and bury  it in  the ground
I  talked to you today
 I heard the tremble  in your voice (cradle the fall)
 I know you'll never change so please  just hold on
I  know it's hard for you
 It's hard  to understand (betrayal within)
 There is a fine line between betrayal,  betrayal,  and  your friends
Tell  me how that you can swim when ropes  are wrapped around  your limbs
(Quick!)  We have the ransom
 
 So  tell me now if you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs
