Lyrics
Mistress of the Vein ©2023 Starburst / Creative InRoads, LLC
- (VERSE) -
Isolated from the mob
She wakes with haunted screams
Her mistress of the vein does rob
The beauty of her dreams
She's got the slightest touch
So gentle yet so obscene
Everyday she rides the golden crutch
A slave to the wicked queen
- (CHORUS) -
FLOATING / SHE'S FLOATING
And THE CROWD GOES RUSHING BY
DRIFTING / SHE'S DRIFTING
OUR BABY GIRL / JUST SHE WANTS TO DIE
PAINLESS / SHE'S SO PAINLESS
HER BODY JUST A DEADLY GHOST
CLUELESS / WE'RE SO CLUELESS
OUR BABY GIRL JUST SHOT HERSELF
A DOUBLE DEVIL DOSE
- (VERSE)-
Such thunderous haunting guilt
Runs naked through her veins
Without the slightest sound
It conquers all her pain
She's ready now to fade
Into that mindless milky haze
Dark angels sing a lullaby
While she gives her soul away
- (BRIDGE) -
She straps the leather belt / yanks it tight around her arm
She's on her way to heaven once the poison weaves its charm
She's shooting to escape / one nightmare at a time
No regrets, no tears as the poison takes her life
- (REPEAT CHORUS) -
FLOATING / SHE'S FLOATING
And THE CROWD GOES RUSHING BY
DRIFTING / SHE'S DRIFTING
OUR BABY GIRL / SHE JUST WANTS TO DIE
PAINLESS / SHE'S SO PAINLESS
HER BODY JUST A DEADLY GHOST
CLUELESS / WE'RE SO CLUELESS
OUR BABY GIRL JUST SHOT HERSELF
A DOUBLE DEVIL DOSE
