Clutching at Barbs Lyrics


Waylaid by the hand that leads

Scale the heights of intimacy

Forewarned, unarmed

One intoxicating whiff and you're snared

One intoxicating whiff and you're snared

Clutching at barbs

Dose up to delirium

Cross circles of death for the good

Deflect all contests

One intoxicating whiff and you're snared

Mock me, I'm convulsing

I'm clutching at barbs

Crass pity goes the deepest

It magnifies the dross

The dross, the dross

A grip enforced, barely healing

I'm clutching at barbs

Leave me to snatch and paw

Then lick my wounds

Struggle spent, I concede defeat

Swing for scumbags

Who heaved the leash

Soft hands, sweet chance

One intoxicating whiff and I'm snared!

One intoxicating whiff and I'm snared!
