Song Lyrics

I've gotta fill this space inside my head
Where the earth comes creepin' in
So I'll feel no need for the cleansin'
Don't wanna need you running through me again

Retrograde emotion leaves me
One step behind
I think that I
I'd do well in a padded cell
Don't wanna hurt myself but

Chorus :
I can't control myself with you
I can't build a wall high enough to
Keep me from crashing into you
You come to unravel me and leave me, (lifeless)

While idle strays enjoy the feast
I'm looking for deliverance
Is this my own hell or is it yours?
Can angels tell the difference anymore?

Pre-chorus 2 :
I'm chillin' in this hot bed of
Paranoia and fear
I think that I'm dead if I do
And I'm dead if I don't
I wanna kick it but

(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Pre-chorus 2)

(Chorus)
I can't control myself with you
I'm sick of needing only you
