[Verse 1: angel dust] I’m painted red in motel lights A broken queen for a thousand nights Diamonds in the gutter Cheap perfume A crown of glass in a rented room [Verse 2: val] You’re the prize but you don’t see I pull the strings You dance for me A plastic throne A neon chain Your pretty scars My sweetest gain [Chorus: both] You can’t cut the cord I own your world The cage is gold but the lock still burns Neon chains They hold you tight In the dark We both lose the fight [Verse 3: angel dust] He calls me angel But drags me down A devil’s smile in a paper crown I tried to run I tried to fly But his shadow keeps me paralyzed [Prechorus: val] You’re mine You’re mine You’re mine to break Your soul’s a candle Watch it shake [Chorus: Both] You can’t cut the cord I own your world The cage is gold but the lock still burns Neon chains They hold you tight In the dark We both lose the fight
