On-screen text
what if he's written fucking mine
on my fucking upper thigh
only in my fucking mind
one fucking slip
& fucking falling back into the hedge maze
oh what a way to fucking die
my fucking bedsheets are ablaze
i've screamed his fucking name
building up like fucking waves
crashing over my fucking grave
without ever fucking touching his skin
how can i be guilty as fucking sin
