Girl for Me
The Generators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost in her face
Skip a beat on me
I skip out on you
Open up and bleed for me
Cut the ties and lines that breathe
Open up and bleed for me
Open eyes can't see
You mean nothing to me
Hardened inside, frustrated and dry
Losing time
I'm lost in my mind
It's out of my hands
The beginning and the end
Closing it down
There's a killer in my head
My only friend
My hammer's back
Yeah, I'm ready to go
Closing you down
Open up and bleed for me
Cut the ties and lines that breathe
Open up and bleed for me
Cut the ties and the lines
I'm taking all of you
I'll leave nothing this time
Take it all, something, everything
I'll leave nothing this time
There's no truth in my lies
Fucking die
Open up and bleed
