Between the liquor, the bed and the noise in my head
Between your mind and my crime
And me in the grime
Between the gun, the lead and the lies that I said
Through your sweet breath
Comes the dawn of my death
Touch me - Hate me
Give yourself to me and break me
Cut these eyes and I will see
Kiss these lying lips for me
Stroke this skin and I will kneel
Brutalize me I will heal
Between the bullet and my lip
And the lies you let slip
Between the dirt of this soul
And your heart that's a hole
Between the place where you hit
And this face where you spit
Through your sweet breath
Comes the dawn of my death
Touch me - Hate me
Give yourself to me and break me
Cut these eyes and I will see
Kiss these quiet lips for me
Stroke this skin and I will kneel
Brutalize me I will heal
