Lyrics:

The bitter taste

On my tongue

Many holes

The damage done

 

It’s bitter sweet

Black on gold

Talk is cheap

Or so I’m told

 

I’m gonna ride this bike

to the edge of town

Roll to the bridge with my eyes shut

and spit at the stars

 

Scream in the dark

 

There’s nothing I can do to change it now

But if I cut myself open, baby,

you can read all my scars

 

Read all my scars

 

Hello, goodbye

There’s a million ways to die

Should’ve left me way back

Should’ve left me way back

by the roadside

 

Hello, goodbye

I was staring in the devil’s eyes

Should’ve left me way back

Should’ve left me way back

by the roadside

 

It’s a bitter taste

 

Jagged stain

On my skin

Broken leg

Born again

 

Wide glide

Upside down

Twisted frame

My new crown

 

I’m gonna ride this bike ‘til the break of day

Rollin’ through the garden like the fountain

won’t take it away

 

I’m not gonna change

 

I’m gonna live so hard these broken wings

will lift me to the sun

so I can burn up in the flames

 

Again and again

 

Hello, goodbye

There’s a million ways to die

Should’ve left me way back

Should’ve left me way back

by the roadside

 

Hello, goodbye

I was staring in the devil’s eyes

Should’ve left me way back

Should’ve left me way back

by the roadside

 

It’s a bitter taste

It’s a jagged stain

 

It’s a bitter taste

It’s a jagged stain

 

Hello, goodbye

There’s a million ways to die

Should’ve left me way back

Should’ve left me way back

by the roadside

 

It’s a bitter taste
