lyrics

Honey On a Razorblade

There are some things I should’ve learned a long time ago. When you hear the siren’s song you can get cut if you get too close. Sometimes you gotta take that chance. Dance with the devil let her do her dance. Getting’ in trouble? No one does it faster.
Getting’ out’s an art I have yet to master.


There I was walkin’ in the warm rain thinkin’ some things I need to learn the hard way
You’d think by now I would know better but she’s hard a hold on my soul forever
Oooh she put her tattoo on my heart
A broken arrow through a fallen star

I’m often reminded about that old story, and I learned it quick, about well -intentioned men who get attracted to the flame only to get burned by it.

She knows that you won’t forget her a sweet taste you’ll always remember
She wants attention not time and she gets what she gives and she takes what she likes
Oooh she put her tattoo on my heart
A broken arrow through a fallen star

Sweet as honey in the morning
She’s like love in a summer rain
She’s a price you wanna pay
She’s honey on a razorblade

I try not to think about it much however long this lasts will be enough
I can’t deny the addiction of the sin or the sweet lies I wanna hear again
Oooh she put her tattoo on my heart
A broken arrow through a fallen star

Sweet as honey in the morning
She’s like love in a summer rain
She’s a price you wanna pay
She’s honey on a razorblade
