lyrics

My empty heart is lost for you to find
This haunting loneliness in my eyes
My dull and distraught, vulnerable thoughts
Have held me captive all these years
So go ahead, cut me open, take a look inside
I always need what I can't have

I find your eyes and never get enough
Painting desperation, fill my hollow mind (I don't want this, I need it)

Take an axe to my back; release the tension from my spine
Watch my body unwind upon the floor before your eyes
Gasping for life, the frigid air cuts my gums like a knife
But it's alright -- I'll just lay here and wait to die

I find your eyes and never get enough
Painting desperation, fill my hollow mind (I don't want this, I need it)
There's you, there's nothing I can do
It's where I go to hide (I don't want this, I need it)

It's you

It's you and I
There's nothing else keeping me alive
