Retrograde Songtext
von Jemina Pearl

My hands smell like cheeseburgers and cigarettes
On the tips of my fingers I count my regrets
Trying to accept who I′ve become
Cause I've done things I would′ve never done
I hear the girl in the back of my mind
She says you know we're the evil kind
You were born bad and that's how you′ll stay
Why would you try to be any other way

She says
Go on, cut a little bit deeper
And see how far we can go
She′s always pushing me closer
To the point where I lost control


Feel it crawling underneath my skin
Itching to get in trouble all over again
Screaming so loud it's hard not to listen
Think about the fun that we′ve been missing
You've come so far down this path
Now there′s no reason to turn back
It's too late to clean up your act
So let′s keep going until we crash

She says
Go on, cut a little bit deeper
And see how far we can go
She's always pushing me closer
To the point where I lost control
She says
Go on, cut a little bit deeper
And see how far we can go
She's always pushing me closer
To the point where I lost control

She says let′s go to the edge
And let′s find out what it's like to be dead

Cry in the shower, I′m starting to drown
Look in the mirror, I'm tripping down (?)
Oh where have you gone, my mercury?
Is it what true, what you said about me?


She says
Go on, cut a little bit deeper
And see how far we can go
She′s always pushing me closer
To the point where I lost control
She says
Go on, cut a little bit deeper
And see how far we can go
She's always pushing me closer
To the point where I lost control

She says let′s go to the edge
And let's find out what it's like to be dead
