[Intro]
Look what you don't realise is I've made you turn the lights down like this so I can sing naked

[Verse 1]
Means are right for taking, fade to gray
Trying to be ruthless in the face of beauty
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me

[Chorus]
Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose

[Verse 2]
Cast a line with a velvet glove
Reading like an open book in the hands of love
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me

[Chorus]
Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose
[Bridge]
Encore
Encore
Encore
Encore
I fall I fall

[Verse 3]
Means are right for taking, fade to gray
Trying to be ruthless in the face of beauty
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me

[Chorus]
Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose
