Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you came into my life, I was lost
And you took that shine to me
At what cost?
You recognised the smell
Human pain
Said, "I'd learn to love the chain"
It was
[Chorus]
Shit, shit, shit
Battered
I caved in
My promise
Was clattered
Amazing stats from the dream
I made
A promise and I killed it
Shit, shit, shit
Battered
I live meretricious
You shattered
Amazing stars from the drink
I made
A promise
[Verse 2]
When you said I taste like sleep
I was dead
When will you step in the room out of your head?
You said that I was bad
That was fine
When you said I could be good, I wouldn't have it
[Verse 3]
There's a certain kind of air
In the smoke
Must be some amount of truth
In the joke
For it to make them laugh
Ha-ha-ha
And teary faces know the craft
[Chorus]
Shit, shit, shit
Battered
I caved in, my promise
Was clattered
Amazing stars from the drink
I made a promise
And I killed it
Shit, shit, shit
Battered
A whole life meretricious
You shattered
Amazing stars from my dreamin'
I made a promise
And I killed it
[Outro]
Shit, shit, shit
Battered
I caved in, my promise
Was clattered
Amazing stars from the drink
I made a promise
