[Verse 1]
Gold man bites down on a silver tongue
Takes a deep breath and blows the candle out
He knows the truth but he keeps it to himself
Here it is
You can only save yourself
Only yourself

[Chorus]
When we bite the dust
We will hide our cuts from the world
When you're in the dirt
You don't show your hurt to the world

[Verse 2]
Cold man, white knuckles on the wheel
Well it's all just there to steal
You just gotta take it
Take it like the harridan you are

[Chorus]
When we bite the dust
We will hide our cuts from the world
When you're in the dirt
You don't show your hurt to the world
[Bridge]
It's the time of the almost rain without you
I am in debt to night
And gone to earth for love
And I, a shadow
And what of us?
And what of me?
And what is left without you?

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
When we bite the dust
We will hide our cuts from the world
When you're in the dirt
You don't show your hurt to the world

[Bridge]
It's the time of the almost rain without you
I am in debt to night
And gone to earth for love
And I, a shadow
And what of us?
And what of me?
And what is left without you?
