Lyrics

    Gave up trying to figure it out my head got lost along the way
    Worn out from giving it up my soul I pissed it all away
    Still stings these shattered nerves
    Pigs will get what pigs deserve
    I'm going all the way down I'm leaving today
    
    Come come on you've gotta fill me up
    Come come gotta let me inside of you
    Come come come on you've gotta fix me up
    Come come gotta let me inside of you
    
    Still feel it all slipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
    Everybody's still chipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
    Look though these blackened eyes
    You'll see ten thousand lies
    My lips may promise but my heart is a whore
    
    Come come come on you've gotta fix me up
    Come come gotta let me inside of you
    Come come come on you've gotta fill me up
    Come come gotta let me get 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's 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 come come on you've gotta fill me up
    Come come gotta let me inside of you
    Come come come on you've gotta fix me up
    Come come gotta 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
    Then I want you to throw me away
