"Tastes Like Metal" lyrics

"Tastes Like Metal"

Are you searching for someone to save you
Someone to come, someone who adores you
You might be searching a little bit longer
Longer meaning you're searching forever, baby

One door closes, another one opens
The kind of line that makes you wanna vomit
Like kick the habit, get back in the saddle
And the blood in your mouth
It tastes like metal

I'm not afraid to pray to see you naked
Although it's clear it's a mistake I'm making
I'm not afraid to pay to see you naked
Although it's clear it's a mistake, I'll make it

Are you looking for a life that is magic
A crystal ball, a hat with a rabbit
Sleight of hand, it's so out of pocket
But you can't trick away all the pain you keep inside you, baby
Are you tired of being tired of being tired
Of rolling deep with creeps who should retire
And take a hard look inside themselves
And hate all they see and throw their bodies in the ocean, baby

And when it hits you
You know it's real
And when you fake it
It falls apart again
And when it's fiction
It never heals
And when you fake it
It falls apart again
And when it hits you
You know it's real
And when you fake it
It falls apart again
(It falls apart again)

I'm not afraid to pray to see you naked
Although it's clear it's a mistake I'm making
I'm not afraid to pay to see you naked
Although it's clear it's a mistake, I'll make it

And when it hits you...
