lyrics

You don't care, which way this goes
Just floating around, in your scummy clothes
You've lost all sight, manipulate like a ghost
I'll let you in, so you can take my would

Tell me, tell me, it's alright
Would you, would you, let me in at night
Fragile tricks and broken tongues
Yeah, you won't be full until I'm drained of blood

So shoot it up or choke it down
What you really love, will finally put you in the ground
It feels so good, hiding from the light
So frail, so scared
It's just the dark side

Tell me, tell me, it's alright
Would you, would you, let me in at night
Fragile tricks and broken tongues
Yeah, you won't be full until I'm drained of blood
Fading out with the morning sun

And you're hoping that your words don't fall apart
Happens everytime and you've got your lines
That you can repeat, fragile and sweet
Is it cool?
To drink from the bottle, break off the needle
In the end, does it make it real?
