your ear tuned to the roar
Of some metal- tempered engine on that alien,

than the one we were living for
And it's not that nursery mouth
I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched
out on the floor
'Cause I've broken all your windows
and I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to tell you to lick my sore?
And you should see that too
Verse 6
F#m
C#m
I came for you, for you,
Bm

I came for you, for you, I came for you
