The 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

Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose

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

Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose

Encore, encore, encore, encore
Plus fort, plus bas
Encore, encore

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

Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose
