Gave up trying to figure it out, but my head got lost along the way
Worn out from giving it up, but my soul I pissed it all away
Still stings these shattered nerves, pigs we get what pigs deserve
I’m going all the way down, I’m leaving today

Come on, you have got to fill me up
Come on, you have got to let me inside of you
Come on, you have got to fix me up
Come on, you have got to let me inside of you

Still feel it all slipping away, but it doesn’t matter anymore
Everybody is still slipping away, but it doesn’t matter anymore
Look through these blackened eyes, you’ll see ten thousand lies
My lips may promise, but my heart is a whore

Come on, you have got to fix me up
Come on, you have got to let me inside of you
Come on, you have got to fill me up
Come on, nothing gets through to you

This isn’t meant to last
This is for right now

I know it’s all getting away and it comes to me as no surprise
I know what is coming to me is never going to arrive
Fresh blood through tired skin, new sweat to drown me in
Dress up this rotten carcass just to make it look alive

Come on, you have got to fill me up
Come on, you have got to let me inside of you
Come on, you have got to fix me up
Come on, you have got to let me get through to you

This isn’t meant to last
This is for right now

I wish I could put the blame on you

I want you to make me
I want you to take me
I want you to break me
I want you to throw me away
