Lyrics

Tainted [Spektralisk Remix]

[Intro]

(Hey!)

Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh ooh

Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh ooh

[Verse 1]

It's not a question of why and if she'll make it

It's more a question of when and how she'll take it

Standing out there alone completely naked

Another secret's been kept and left her tainted

[Interlude]

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

[Verse 2]

There's nothing more she can do to make them change it

She does the best that she can to rearrange it

There's still the question of how she's grown so tainted

A tattered canvas unfurls, watch as they paint it

[Chorus]

(Chained) She's at the edge of the world

(Chained) She's there standing alone

(Chained) She's the loneliest girl

And now she finally feels like she's coming home

[Post-Chorus]

Hey! Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh ooh

Hey! Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh ooh

Hey! Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh----

[Bridge]

Slowly fading and decaying

Please ignore what they're saying

Slowly fading and decaying

Please ignore what they're saying

Slowly fading and decaying

Please ignore what they're saying

Slowly fading and decaying

Please ignore what they're saying

[Verse 3]

She fought them bravely until defenses caved in

Pressing their teeth to her neck until she gave in

Now there's no question this girl is well acquainted

With suffering in a world that's left her tainted

[Chorus]

(Chained) She's at the edge of the world

(Chained) She's there standing alone

(Chained) She's the loneliest girl

And now she finally feels like she's coming home

(Chained) She's just done what she’s been told

(Chained) Her heart is turning to stone

(Chained) Here at the end of this girl

This time she finally feels like she's coming home

[Verse 3]

Pressing their teeth to her neck

Until she gave in

Pressing their teeth to her neck

Until she gave in

Pressing their teeth to her neck

Until she gave in

Pressing their teeth to her neck

Until she gave

[Bridge]

Slowly fading and decaying

Please ignore what they're saying

Slowly fading and decaying

Please ignore what they're saying

[Outro]

She's coming home [echoing]

She's coming home [echoing]

She's coming home [echoing]
