::Lyrics::
:I believe in clean breaks
I keep the old troubles away
But you're making sure
I was lying when I said
I can leave this behind
I need you to ruin me.
For this finally
'Cause it's bearing me
Now

I'm in these old knots
Each move keeps me locked away.
With each new embrace
I've tied myself up
More tightly
Into you.

Oh, but the more I fight
And the deeper I'm trapped
And I can't break free
Of this hold that you have

And I crave you more
Under the heat of your touch
And I need your skin
To ruin me
For this wicked town
Where your ghosts are bound
To me.
One last sacrifice
For this ritual
Stay (I believe)
This ritual
(In clean breaks)
I was lying when I said
(I believe)
This ritual
(in clean breaks)
I was lying when I said
(I believe in)
This ritual
(in clean breaks)
I was lying when I said
I believe In clean breaks:

  • i Love this song. Especial the off beatness that is on beat [5/4!] It's beautifully amazing and completely original. This song is based off of the C cord but is construced and performed with such fluent quality and harmony. It's perfect and even though i'd expect that from DC, it just got me again.. Peace and Love [Dashboard Rocks! and mike marsh [drummer] rocks] -XeionX
