Watching TV ti

Reeling, feedi

I see you as y

the books you

Overwhelmed wi
th guilt and r
ealizing the d
isease

You give me ch
ills, I’ve had
it with the d
rills
I’m nothing, y

power
Protecting and
dissecting ti

You lay upon m

I wanted to se
e you naked, I
wanted to hea
r you scream
Wanted to kiss
your skin and

I wanted to be
your woman, I
wanted to be
your man
I wanted to be
the one that
you could unde
rstand

[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, ah
[Verse 3]
N.C. N.C.
Well, I’ve walked into your dagger for the last time
N.C. N.C.
It’s like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow
N.C. N.C.
Where you can’t seem to hold me, can’t seem to let me go
N.C. N.C.
So I can’t find surrender and I can’t keep control
You turn me in
side out and t
hen you want t
he outside in
You spin me al
l around, then
you ask me no
t to spin
You say you wa
nt to be alone
and you want
children
You wanna be w
ith me, you wa
nna be with hi
m
[Chorus]
You give me ch
ills, I’ve had
it with the d
rills
I’m nothing, y
ou are nothing
, we are nothi
ng with the pi
lls
I’m empty till
she fills, al
/
ive until she
kills
In her vampire
empire, I am
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
