Grieves - Gwenevieve lyrics

She said the world paints a picture
That makes her wanna run
Pull the stars out of the sky
And load them into her gun
Live wire, broken and it's taken it's toll
You can't reach what has never been touched
It's too cold
Cuz the sun don't shine for her
She said calmly it's a fact
That she learnt to adapt, and move on with it
I don't know if I should smile or not
Or pull that ice box out of
Her chest and help her thaw
Cuz she fights like a lover
But sleeps with the enemy
And asks like shes only getting close
Just to empty me
Gwenevieve, another hook for the line
And a perfect little painting of
Disaster in it's prime and I love it
Solely cuz it makes me feel alive


When she sets the world ablaze and
See the fire in my eyes
Shes the lion in disguise as
The prey in the pasture
Breakdown, build up, agony, the rapture

Look at you
The blood from it will taste like wine
And fill that little glass that
You hold up high
You wanna walk with the shovel in line
Tried to bury every single little thing
That ever made you feel alive
Youre alone now
Just the way you drew it in the dust
And the walls that protect you
From ever showing your trust
If I could show you what
It's like from the inside
Id open up that coffin you been
Hiding in and speak like

You don't need to see the
Fire to smell the gasoline
Toss another lit match to the bridge
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burnt it down burn it down
Gwenevieve you burn the whole
World around you and
You don't need to huff the
Smoke for the cancer
Take another step away from your chance
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burnt it down burn it down
Gwenevieve and take a shower in it's ashes

I wonder what happened to make you like this
Break it, and leave you throwing stones
Where the lights dim you got a smile on your
Face like a sliced wrist
And grin like you got a couple
Spikes in that ice kiss
You like it, youre just too afraid to say it
So break it into pieces and
Add it to your mosaic
And nail it to your heart little artist
And protect it and murder any perpetrator
Eyeing your investment
Cuz love can't bite you if you
Keep it on a leash
Fate can't catch you if you
Take away it's feet
Life can't tell you shit without speech
So you hide where the lonely
Eyes on you couldn't seek youre alone
Like the last dead petal on a rose
Picked from the common ground
Just to watch it grow
Or die, Gwenevieve, a ghost in the night
Smell smoke, see the glow in her eyes
I try to tell you you don't need to see the
Fire to smell the gasoline
Toss another lit match to the bridge
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burnt it down burn it down
Gwenevieve you burn the whole
World around you and
You don't need to huff the
Smoke for the cancer
Take another step away from your chance
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burnt it down burn it down
Gwenevieve and take a shower in it's ashes

You don't need to see the
Fire to smell the gasoline
Toss another lit match to the bridge
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burnt it down burn it down
Gwenevieve you burn the whole
World around you and
You don't need to huff the
Smoke for the cancer
Take another step away from your chance
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burnt it down burn it down
Gwenevieve and take a shower in it's ashes
