lyrics

It’s quiet now
And I’ve been locked inside this, quiet house
With these four walls caving in
Bottles drowning out my sin
Tattoos deep within my skin
All this envy sinking in, in, in

Well I think I’m burning up now
Poison ivy’s in my bloodstream
Don’t think I can make it out now
That buzz is driving me insane
Well I think I’m going under
The cheap thrill’s tender to the touch
Poison ivy’s in my bloodstream
Breathe in breathe out
Gentle wicked

Rush rush rush, hush
Breathe in breathe out
Gentle wicked
Rush rush rush, hush
Breathe in breathe out
Gentle wicked

I feel you near
Pull you close, I see you
Crystal clear
Pour a glass and take a sip
Cabaret against my lips
Twisted round my fingertips
Lead me on this ego trip, trip, trip
(And I won’t get out)

(Chorus)

I just want to make it home
Cause I don’t recognize
This reflection from my own
And I’m a victim to your spell
You’ve got me trapped inside
This perfect, little hell

(Chorus)

Rush rush rush, hush
Breathe in breathe out
Gentle wicked
