Take Aim ( Through The Veil)

[Intro] Black veil on my lashes, heart numb in this cage Anyone… load it up, I’m already on the stage Goth girl drowning in moonlight, 26 and fading fast Take aim… somebody. Please just make it last. [Verse 1] I trace crosshairs on my throat with shaky crimson lines Your name’s a dull blade spinning circles in my mind You pull the trigger slow when the silence gets too loud One breath and I’m leaking feelings all over this empty house We crash like broken bottles on cold floors in the a.m. Your hands leave fresh bruises where the old ones never mend I could ghost out the window, chase pills till the sirens fade But the nothing without you is the shit that makes me cave [Pre-Chorus] I know it’s gonna burn—I’ve swallowed worse before Loneliness is eating me slower than any war Dress me in your damage, choke me with the smoke I’m anybody’s target, baby— just don’t let me stay broke. [Chorus] Take aim, take aim Anybody, rip me from this numb frame I’ll bleed out in the dark for you, carve your name so I feel something Take aim, take aim I’m begging, please, just make it rain Goth girl 26 and lost again—somebody fucking hit me Take aim… on me. [Verse 2] Bathroom light buzzing harsh, counting scars from last night’s fight Stayed a whole year with a girl who cheated every other night Ripped lace on the floor from the makeup sex that kept me high Every bruise felt like proof that at least I was alive We fuck like two disasters in a church that God forgot Your mouth tastes like regret and the only drug I’ve got I chase the ringing in my chest after every screaming war Trading lonely silence for the chaos I keep crawling toward Peel me open, see the girl taped up with cheap prayers and tears Still whispering “hurt me” while I’m bleeding down the stairs. [Pre-Chorus] I wear the night like armor but it’s paper-thin and torn Every tear’s a reminder I’d rather feel torn apart than alone Bury me in wilted roses, black and gunpowder blue I’ll crawl through the dirt for anyone who’ll run me through. [Chorus] Take aim, take aim Anybody, rip me from this numb frame I’ll bleed out in the dark for you, carve your name so I feel something Take aim, take aim I’m begging, please, just make it rain Goth girl 26 and lost again—somebody fucking hit me Take aim… on me. [Bridge] Why do I keep begging? ’Cause empty is worse than any wound you make I’m the witch at 26 still calling hunters to my grave Anyone, break the safety, blow my nothing away In this death I finally feel… something. *(whispered, cracking)* Reload… *(building, desperate scream)* And fire. [Final Chorus] Take aim, take aim (anybody, on me) I surrender to the gravity Goth heart dripping, begging for symmetry Take aim, take aim Even if it ends in tragedy Let me feel it through the agony Take aim… on me. [Outro] Black veil falling… heart still raw and calling… Take aim…
