[English]

I'm bordeline, it's getting late, I feel alive

I wanna show you, I-I-I-I-I

I've got a birthmark on my mind, I think you'll like it

Arch my spine, and just a shoulder

Titalises on me, I ride

You wanna read my every line and I don't mind

Late nights

My sternum stretched wide

Opening me feels like a striptease

Opening me feels like a striptease

Silk for my tears, and lace for my fears

I'm stripping apart, till my pain disappears

Opening me feels like a striptease

Woah, watch me flow

Lost in my striptease

Woah, watch me flow

I'm bordeline, it's getting late, I feel alive

I wanna show you, I-I-I-I-I

I've got a birthmark on my mind, I think you'll like it

Arch my spine, and just a soulder

Titalises on me, I ride

You wanna read my every line and I don't mind

Eyes wide

Breathe in my insides

Opening me feels like a striptease

Opening me feels like a striptease

Silk for my tears, and lace for my fears

I'm stripping my heart, till my pain disappears

Opening me

Opening me feels like a striptease

Woah, watch me flow

Lost in my striptease

Woah, watch me flow

Lost in the striptease

Late nights

My sternum stretched wide

I'm bordeline, it's getting late, I feel alive

I wanna show you, I-I-I-I-I

I've got a birthmark on my mind, I think you'll like it

Arch my spine, and just a soulder

Titalises on me, I ride

You wanna read my every line and I don't mind
