[verse]
I don't know why i lie awake, that idle sweet temptation
My image circling the drain, i know you only mean so well
So here's your song i couldn't write, just as planned by design
If saying it was easy, then i'll trip the finish line
[pre-chorus]
To pull me by the veins, to crop me at the frame and wonder if i ever had a heart
Motion underneath your blade, you want it in the worst way
I'm reeling, but you're tearing me apart
[chorus]
Lock up your soul to leave me chained up inside
Is that the way you like?
Lead me astray with daggers in your dead eyes
So everybody knows just how i can't seem to obey
The way i'm wired, how i'm made
Hooked on the breath and bloodied taste
Of something i can't keep
[bridge]
Lock up your soul to leave me chained up inside (to crop me, leave me maimed)
Lead me astray with daggers in your dead eyes (anything at all)
Feel you underneath my blade (and now i can't seem to behave), heat building to cascade (praying you'll bite down anyway)
I'm seeing red, another bleeding heart (hooked on the breath and bloodied taste)
(of something i can't keep)
[chorus]
Lock up your soul to leave me chained up inside
Is that the way you like?
Lead me astray with daggers in your dead eyes
So everybody knows just how i can't seem to obey
The way i'm wired, how i'm made
Hooked on the breath and bloodied taste
Of something i can't keep
Savor my soul, i'm dashing for the white light
I know you want it, right?
Wake at your signal, waiting for your dead eye
And god, i need to know just how you look and how you taste
The way i slide under the blade
I know my purpose, know my place
It's something i don't need
[outro]
(lock up your soul to leave me chained up inside)
(so everybody knows just how i can't seem to obey)
(the way i'm wired, how i'm made)
(it's something i can't keep)
(yeah, there you go, brand me)
