Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight, we'll both go M.I.A
In different towns, but in similar ways
I've tried my best, best to forget
But I can't, I can't, I can't
[Verse 2]
Tonight, we'll scratch each other's face
If it's in the moment, no one complains
I've tried my best to move along
But I can't, I can't, I can't
[Verse 3]
Kiss me with your fist, it's alright
Wrap your hands around my throat, I won't mind
I'm permanent, now I won't go
I just want to be your shadow
[Verse 4]
Just one more up-tempo tune
The suits don't care if their feet aren't blue
Are you aware of what's going on
In my heart, my heart, my heart?
[Verse 5]
Those machine gun eyes
Have fired crystals into me
You're such a violent high
And I'm such a loose cannon, can't you see?
[Verse 6]
Kiss me with your fist, it's alright
Wrap your hands around my throat, I won't mind
I'm permanent, now I won't go
I just wanna be your shadow
[Verse 7]
Hire a bus, drive it over my rib cage
Snap my bank cards and throw them at my face
I'm permanent, now I won't go
I just want to be your shadow
[Verse 8]
And I just want to be
The sum of your broken parts
And I just want to be
Your creature of the dark (I just want, I just want)
[Verse 9]
And I just want to be (I just want, I just want)
The sum of your broken parts (I just want, I just want)
And I just want to be (I just want, I just want)
Your creature of, your creature of the dark
[Verse 10]
I just want to be your shadow
[Verse 11]
Kiss me with your fist, it's alright
Wrap your hands around my throat, I won't mind
I'm permanent, now I won't go
I just want to be your shadow
[Verse 12]
I just want to be your shadow
I just want to be your shadow
