The Taste of the Disaster
[Verse 1] I took a bite of what you swore was gold It melted sweet, then turned ice-cold Smoke still sitting on my tongue From every lie we both begun [Pre-Chorus] I keep licking the wound like it might change But the flavor only rearranges [Chorus] This is the taste of the disaster Ash and rust and something after Every swallow cuts the same I canβt rinse out your name The taste of the disaster Lives behind my teeth forever after [Verse 2] We built a house on breaking glass Called it love and let it pass Now every meal reminds my mouth Of how we burned the whole thing out [Pre-Chorus] I keep swallowing the proof it happened The aftertaste just keeps on laughing [Chorus] This is the taste of the disaster Ash and rust and something after Every swallow cuts the same I canβt rinse out your name The taste of the disaster Lives behind my teeth forever after [Bridge] I tried sugar, I tried salt Tried forgetting, thatβs my fault Nothing covers what you left Just a flavor I canβt forget [Final Chorus] This is the taste of the disaster Bitter truth that never plastered Every night I taste the fall You were never worth it all The taste of the disaster Stays with me forever after
