Haute Tension

Screams through the cornfields Hands bleed from the thorns I run barefoot into the night He’s behind me, he’s always behind me Saw her face in the rearview Her tears pierced me like ah knife I swore I’d protect her, I swore... I swore... He smashed through the window, took her by the throat Her voice, gurglin', beggin', I’ll never forget I grabbed the blade, heart beatin' like ah bitch My breath was gravel, my thoughts ah flood I followed em through barbed wire forests Drippin' with blood n' unwaverin' focus I had to find her... I had to find her... No one will love her like I do No one will save her like I will No one else exists in this world Not anymore, not anymore... I’m not the monster I’m the savior I watched the light go out behind her eyes Because I had to Because she’s mine I held her hand through the end I cut through the world for her... And if I lose myself So be it So. Fuckin'. Be. It. (So fucking be it). Blood under my fingernails Dried around my throat I saw him, I swear, I swear I saw him But his eyes were mine His hands were mine His teeth His breath His knife Mine Mine Mine Her breath on my shoulder She never screamed Not really She knew... I never ran There was no chase There was no man It was always me It was always Me- She cried when I touched her She begged when I kissed her She bled when I told her I love you too much to let you go... I carved her name in my throat I ripped out the stars for her Even killed her kin I am the storm I am the blade I am the one who stayed She never got away She never wanted to She loved me... She loved me... SHE LOVED ME! I saved her from the world Now she’s safe Now she’s mine Now we’re free Just you and me... (you and me...) (you and me...) (you and me...)
