Painkiller Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your hurried sense is like a drug
(Your hand strokes through my hair)
The taste of copper on my tongue
(Let me show you how much I care)
A wave of ecstasy comes down
(Crashing right into my chest)
I take a glance up at the clock
(Don't let it end yet)

[Chorus]
A broken leg might hold me still
The pain rushes through me I love how it feels
Tearing through my outsides reaching in
Don't be careful let's begin
Your true intentions your true colors
Mine are red, but yours are others
I'm not so sure if I like what you're doing
But I don't care

[Verse 2]
My bruised body tied up snug
(Your hand colliding with my face)
I start to bleed out of my mouth
(And you know I love the taste)
A wave of ecstasy comes down
(I'm caught in the undertow)
I need to breathe before I drown
(But I don't wanna go)

[Verse 3]
A heavy silence crashes down to my lips
I forget how to speak, I forget how to breathe
Your nails dig deep against the bone of my hips
I don't want to break, I don't want to leave

[Chorus]
A broken leg might hold me still
The pain rushes through me I love how it feels
Tearing through my outsides reaching in
Don't be careful let's begin
Your true intentions your true colors
Mine are red, but yours are others
I'm not so sure if I like what you're doing
But I don't care


[Verse 1]
Your hurried sense is like a drug
(Your hand strokes through my hair)
The taste of copper on my tongue
(Let me show you how much I care)
A wave of ecstasy comes down
(Crashing right into my chest)
I take a glance up at the clock
(Don't let it end yet)
[Verse 2]
My bruised body tied up snug
(Your hand colliding with my face)
I start to bleed out of my mouth
(And you know I love the taste)
A wave of ecstasy comes down
(I'm caught in the undertow)
I need to breathe before I drown
(But I don't wanna go)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
