LYRICS
Verse:
And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars look just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say no

Chorus I:
Might last a day
But mine is forever
Might last a day
But mine is forever

Pre-Chorus:
When they get what they want
And they never want it again
When they get what they want
They never want it again

Chorus II:
Go on take everything
Take everything I want you to
Go on take everything
Take everything I dare you to

Verse:
And the sky was all violet
I wanna make the violent more violent

 Well I'm the one
With no soul
One above and one below

Chorus I:
Might last a day
But mine is forever
Might last a day
But mine is forever

Pre-Chorus
They get what they want
And they never want it again
Well they get what they want
And they never want it again

Chorus II:
Go on take everything
Take everything
I want you to
Go on take everything
Take everything
I need you to

Pre-Chorus:
And I told you from the start
Just how this would end

Well I get what I want
And I never want it again

Chorus II:
Go on take everything
Take everything
I want you to
Go on take everything
Take everything
I dare you to

Bridge:
Your my life
Your mine
Your mine

Chorus II:
Go on take everything
Take everything I want you to
Go on take everything
Take everything I dare you to
Go on take everything
Take everything I want you to
Go on take everything
Take everything
Take everything
Take everything
