lyrics

Finding reasons to believe
stashed in some books you read
then burn the pile
And now you’ve got 2 fingers down your throat
Paint by numbers sacrifice
Indulge yourself to a set price
(They’re) He’s gonna find you
All alone
He’s gonna find you
Make you pay and send you on your own

It’s 4 in the morning
and you’re all alone
There’s ghosts in the basement and blood on the snow
smoking in the bathroom
There’s nowhere to go
Sell love on your knees
buy sex on the phone

The things you did to hurt yourself
were learned
a product of the love they showed you
And now you’ve got blood running down your face
Paint by numbers sacrifice
Indulge yourself to a set price
(They’re) He’s gonna find you
All alone
He’s gonna find you
Make you pay and send you on your own

It’s 4 in the morning
and you’re all alone
There’s ghosts in the basement and blood on the snow
You’ll be here for a long time – smoking in the bathroom
There’s nowhere to go
Sell love on your knees - sell war on TV
buy sex on the phone
