Verse 1
AmIn darkness, you're all around me,
AmI know our future, I feel your body.
AmWhat if I told you that I planned this?
AmWhat if I want to lose control?
AmWhat if I take the blame and become the drug
AmAnd dissolve as you swallow?
Prechorus 1
FCovered in your silhouCette,
DmElated for your bitter end.
FDon't hide the shame from our Clips,
DmGlowing in amber, burn in sin.
Chorus
AmAgainst the wall, we fall from Cgrace,
FThe pain we love is Dmtaking shape.
AmA burning lust to touch the flaCme,
FOver and Gover again.
AmWe've played this role a thousand tCimes, 
The Fsame old script, just dDmifferent lies.
AmYou disappear without a tCrace,
ConFcealing the criGmes on your face.
Verse 2
AmBeneath all the pleasure, all you are is pain,
AmAnd you deserve every second of your suffering.
AmBut yet I can't stop, crawling to your doorstep,
AmEvery time you beckon,
AmI'm self destructing, trust in nothing,
AmSave me!
Prechorus 2
FYou burn like a cigareCtte,
DmI took my time to suck you in.
FSo take me out of my hCead,
DmAnd spread your ashes on my skin.
Chorus
AmAgainst the wall, we fall from Cgrace,

Verse 1

In darkness, you're all around me,

I know our future, I feel your body.

What if I told you that I planned this?

What if I want to lose control?

What if I take the blame and become the drug

And dissolve as you swallow?

Glowing in amber, burn in sin.

Concealing the crimes on your face.

Verse 2

Beneath all the pleasure, all you are is pain,

And you deserve every second of your suffering.

But yet I can't stop, crawling to your doorstep,

Every time you beckon,

I'm self destructing, trust in nothing,

Save me!
