Skip The Use Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a knife tearing through confusion
Fuck it, says the girl in the mirror
Pull me in your arms, make me shiver
I'm gonna play a wicked game
I'll never be the same again
Oh, never mind
I'm gonna play a wicked game
Nothing scares me any more
Oh, we'll be fine
I'm in for the kill
I can feel your fingers on my body
And I'm drowning in ecstasy
I'm gonna play a wicked game
I'll never be the same again
Oh, never mind
I'm gonna play a wicked game
Nothing scares me any more
Oh, we'll be fine
I'm in for the kill
I'm gonna play a wicked game
I'll never be the same again
Oh, never mind
I'm gonna play a wicked game
I'll never be the same again
Oh, never mind
I'm in for the kill
I'm in for the kill
I'm in for the kill
I'm in for the kill
I'm in for the kill
