Substitute for Murder

Now that it's grown
on your self-destructive fight
So bright on first sight
Face something you know has no eyes

How do we dare do this every night
And wildly tear ourselves apart
And it's a serious problem
You can't deny
So you break out
You break out

It's a substitute for murder
And you're plunging in a headfirst dive
See your hands are trembling
It's a substitute for murder

So give me something
I'm thrown out and taken in

You recognize signs
But it just feels so absorbing
Cross the line
The shadow of dreams
With stars like cream
In your blood
A necklace of pearls
And I'll find you
I'll see who you sleep with
Every time

You know that everything is wasted
But you can't find a better way
You know that everything is wasted

It's a substitute for murder
And you're plunging in a headfirst dive
See your hands are trembling
It's a substitute for murder
Cant find a way
