Barbed Wire Body

Collect yourself and then your things
A quiet exit to the street
You're a master of the misdirect
They never notice when you leave

You make a habit of being absent
You play it smart
Easy attraction, no second chances
You're staying sharp

You've got a barbed wire body
Always armed up to the teeth
And everybody knows you're lonely
But if they hold you close, you're gonna cut too deep
Add a scar when you leave
Stab your heart if it beats
You've got a barbed wire body
You've got a barbed wire body

You hide the devil in the details
And hide yourself the deceit
Stick around until your lungs fail
Make sure you're out before you bleed

Then you escape, you shift your shape
Repeat the lines
Another time, another place
Another life

You've got a barbed wire body
Always armed up to the teeth
And everybody knows you're lonely
But if they hold you close, you're gonna cut too deep
Add a scar when you leave
Stab your heart if it beats
You've got a barbed wire body
You've got a barbed wire body

Fool them once, you gotta fool them twice
A prisoner of your own device
Play a stupid game, win a stupid prize
Holy Ghost in silver sheets
Heart-shaped holes and trails of grief

You've got a barbed wire body
Always armed up to the teeth
And everybody knows you're lonely
But if they hold you close, you're gonna cut too deep
Add a scar when you leave
Stab your heart if it beats
You've got a barbed wire body
You've got a barbed wire body

You've got a barbed wire body
You've got a barbed wire body
You've got a barbed wire body
