If you were to come to me after were dead
and I see just your skeleton head
would I recognize you, oh would I know
The face of your beautiful skull
Or forever I'm looking around
but forever you're lost and unfound
And I am to blame and I'm ashamed alone
with my own bones, cause I should have known
And I wanna know you
I wanna know you
Outside and inside above and below you
and honestly I want to see in yourself what you hate
so that I'm the most perfect escape
And If by some shapeshifting monster I'm cloned
And we both corner you while alone
And I would adore you but he wants pretty girls to eat
his fine cuisine, choicest meat
And you see you can't run but you got a gun
and you're bullets; you check you got one
What would I say to make you see
that it's me
I wanna know you
I wanna know you
Outside and inside above and below you
and honestly I want to see in yourself what you hate
cause I need you to know your escape
And I say
Do you remember the place I gave you my heart entirely
but the shapeshfiting monster read it all in your diary
and he beats me to the story and you aim at my head
and I'm panicking now, this demon's too good, I am dead
then you look in my eyes and we speak with our hearts
You see the most perfect escape
And that's how
I wanna know you I wanna know
outside and inside above and below you
and shapes have their place
the back of your face
too pretty to waste
and I'll be the perfect escape
