Words
Lyrics
Worn out from giving it up my soul I pissed it all away
Still stings these shattered nerves
Pigs we get what pigs deserve
I'm going all the way down I'm leaving today
Come come on you've gotta fill me up
Come come gotta let me inside of you
Come come come on you've gotta fix me up
Come come gotta let me inside of you
Still feel it all slipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
Everybody's still chipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
Look though these blackened eyes
You'll see ten thousand lies
My lips may promise but my heart is a whore
Come come come on you've gotta fix me up
Come come gotta let me inside of you
Come come come on you've gotta fill me up
Come come gotta let me get through to you
This isn't meant to last
This is for right now
I know it's all getting away and it comes to me as no surprise
I know what's coming to me is never going to arrive
Fresh blood through tired skin
New sweat to drown me in
Dress up this rotten carcass just to make it look alive
Come come come on you've gotta fill me up
Come come gotta let me inside of you
Come come come on you've gotta fix me up
Come come gotta let me get through to you
This isn't meant to last
This is for right now
I wish I could put the blame on you
I want you to make me
I want you to take me
I want you to break me
Then I want you to throw me away
