"Porcelain" lyrics - MOTIONLESS IN WHITE

[Intro:]
God knows I tried
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I held a wrecking ball and you were porcelain

An altered state
Sometimes I even scare myself
Is it too late to question fate?
And hope is fleeting
Still tethered to this grim divergence of my being
I can't stop the bleeding

[Pre-Chorus:]
I can barely stand myself

[Chorus 1:]
God knows I tried
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I held a wrecking ball and you were porcelain
Porcelain, porcelain

I saw your face, but it couldn't save me
I fell from grace, and I cracked your smile
Don't rescue me, I can't escape it
Ravenously, feed my feral mind

[Pre-Chorus:]
We bend before we break

[Chorus 1:]
God knows I tried
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I held a wrecking ball and you were porcelain

[Bridge:]
Porcelain, compulsions killing me
Giving in, and I can't go back
Porcelain, it's fucking killing me
Giving in, I can't go back

[Chorus 2:]
I've broken my vows to reconcile
I shattered your heart and left a crack in your smile
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I held a wrecking ball, and you were porcelain

[Outro:]
Porcelain, porcelain
