I'm clenching teeth and hitting things
And pretty much on fire
Is it okay with you if I tremble?
Like an earthquake
The fucking world shakes
Chorus:
And you beckon me with a sad smile
I hold you to my lips for a little while
And whisper, "you're the rust to my machine
You're my beautiful nicotine"
The clocks refused to stop ticking
I left every door unlocked
Promising, I prayed for peace
You are nothing that I'll ever want
But like an earthquake
My fucking world breaks
Chorus:
And you beckon me with a sad smile
I hold you to my lips for a little while
And whisper, "you're the rust to my machine
You're my beautiful nicotine"
You're the rust to my machine
These addictions end our dreams
Poison us but never leave
Like ashes left from nicotine
Ashes left from nicotine
Chorus:
And you beckon me with a sad smile
I hold you to my lips for a little while
And whisper, "you're the rust to my machine
You're my beautiful nicotine"
