"Bitter Taste" Lyrics
The bitter taste
On my tongue
Many holes
The damage done
It’s bitter sweet
Black on gold
Talk is cheap
Or so I’m told
I’m gonna ride this bike
to the edge of town
Roll to the bridge with my eyes shut
and spit at the stars
Scream in the dark
There’s nothing I can do to change it now
But if I cut myself open, baby,
you can read all my scars
Read all my scars
Hello, goodbye
There’s a million ways to die
Should’ve left me way back
Should’ve left me way back
by the roadside
Hello, goodbye
I was staring in the devil’s eyes
Should’ve left me way back
Should’ve left me way back
by the roadside
It’s a bitter taste
Jagged stain
On my skin
Broken leg
Born again
Wide glide
Upside down
Twisted frame
My new crown
I’m gonna ride this bike ‘til the break of day
Rollin’ through the garden like the fountain
won’t take it away
I’m not gonna change
I’m gonna live so hard these broken wings
will lift me to the sun
so I can burn up in the flames
Again and again
Hello, goodbye
There’s a million ways to die
Should’ve left me way back
Should’ve left me way back
by the roadside
Hello, goodbye
I was staring in the devil’s eyes
Should’ve left me way back
Should’ve left me way back
by the roadside
It’s a bitter taste
It’s a jagged stain
It’s a bitter taste
It’s a jagged stain
Hello, goodbye
There’s a million ways to die
Should’ve left me way back
Should’ve left me way back
by the roadside
It’s a bitter taste
