Slapped, across the face
Tryin' to stay alive
Slapped, across the face
Tryin' to stay alive
Make it all go away
Keep this beating heart of mine
Ticking off the world today
And then, I must not praise
Hand emerging from the waste
Win the beating heart, the prize
Crafting what I need to say
And hope it comes out right
Hand emerging from the waste
Make it all go away
Slapped across the face
Where I could sing your eyes
Practice every phrase
Tryin' to stay alive
Hand emerging from the waste
Hand emerging from the waste
Tryin' to stay alive
Trap the needle, burn the lies
Take me up the top today
Win the beating heart, the prize
Win the beating heart, the prize
Feel you rushing through my face
Make it all go away
Breaking all the rush today
Slapped, across the face
