Double Edged Sword Video (MV)

The sharpest weapon she has is her tongue
She is careless and overbearing
Unmoved by a passer-by's smile
She slows for nothing
But the weight of a material stare
She groans for approval and waits for it

Everybody listen
We know it's gold the way she kisses
She leaves stars in our eyes
When she is listless
I know I'm out of control every time she passes my way
I'm left to stand in the dust and debris and the aftermath
She leaves
In her path
I run circles while the insects feed on my flesh

And she lights a smoke
And says with a smile
"Run and get me another daiquiri"

Ain't it funny the grip she has on everyone she passes through?
I'd walk through hell and back and still I know that that won't do
I've seen a thousand dreams crushed by surfeit of her lies
Ain't it funny the grip she has around the necks of the ignorant like us?

That's not me anymore
That's not me anymore
I know, I've seen it. I'd kill to shine her shoes
I know, I've seen it. I'd kill to shine her shoes
I've got her, she's mine. She offers what I can't refuse
I've got her, she's mine. She offers what I can't refuse

I'll break these chains that bind me
I'll shut her mouth
I'd rather be blind than go to hell with two eyes
She's not a temptress I can't withstand
I'll break these chains that bind me
I'll shut her mouth

Ain't it funny the grip she has on everyone she passes through?
I'd walk through hell and back and still I know that that won't do
I've seen a thousand dreams crushed by surfeit of her lies
Ain't it funny the grip she has around the necks of the ignorant like us?
