lyrics

Look into my eyes and tell me what you see.
A vision; premonition; everything you want from me.
A fix for now, is all I need. Tip the balance right.
Justify. Crucify. Make me understand. I grieve.
A prisoner. A messenger for all that I need.
Desensitized. I realize, there's nothing left.
Nothing to accept. Take from me. Take from me.
There's nothing I forget. But everything I regret.

Take, and you take. Until, there's nothing left.
Strip away apologies. Consume my thoughts; my breath.
My right. You understand my needs. But don't forget.
I'm real. I'm real. I'm real. I'm real.

It's trivial. You smile. I cry. You frown. I divide.
Innocence. You drain. Detriment. Why can't I refrain?
Unplug me. Take what you need. Open up the truth.
Why me?! Why me?!

Infinity. I must confess. Another day that I forget.
I can't understand that everything I command.
Is it real or right? Don't look at me. It's not my fight.
I project. You see right through me. There's nothing left.
Why can't I let go?! Why can't I let go?!
