Stain on the Switchblade

You wanna raise a fortune and still be free

You wanna touch the limelight but you can't take the heat

You look for victims with stardust in your eyes

Hold on like parasite with your rehearsed lies

I hear you talking still I'm not listening

You're telling me stories of lost innocence

Forgetting the stain on your sweet slate is red

The stain on your sweet slate

Behind the mask of anger a lonely child

Beyond the heart of darkness just a face in the crowd

Inside the castle you feel you somehow count

Remember the broken hearts, can you hear this sound?

I hear you talking still I'm not listening

You're telling me stories of lost innocence

Forgetting the stain on your sweet slate is red

You're telling me stories so bent out of shape

Forgetting the stain on your own plate is red

Telling me stories of lost innocence

Forgetting the stain on your sweet slate is red

You're telling me stories so bent out of shape

Forgetting the stain on your own plate is red

The stain on your sweet slate

Sweet slate

Sweet slate

Yeah!
