My faults were always in the light as long as I lived in your shadow
Pushed out leaving all my hopes behind just for a glimpse of attention
But as I turned away and searched for something of my own
Suddenly you noticed me you never wanted this
So now I’m torn between the things I want and the life that never stood a chance

Your tasted they’ve never changed
I simply became the poison that you crave

 [bad word] 
It’s in your veins creeping slowly to your heart
It’s sinking in as your eyes are getting heavy
Don’t fall asleep, don’t fall asleep
Don’t drift into this nightmare
Don’t fall asleep, don’t fall asleep
Or you will never see

The illusion you breathe to honestly think you could fly
You know wings are only as strong as the heart that beats with them
But you’re already dead inside
It’s a sad shame to see what you’ll [bad word] 
You’ll be all alone

 [bad word] 
It’s in your veins creeping slowly to your heart
It’s sinking in as your eyes are getting heavy
Don’t fall asleep, don’t fall asleep
Don’t drift into this nightmare
Don’t fall asleep, don’t fall asleep
Or you will never see

There’s no [bad word] in the way you look at me
Searching the surface for what you want to see
But you’re mind is set you’re blind as can be
You’ll never know what lies beneath

You’re tastes they’ve never changed
I simply became the poison that you crave
Can you feel this on your lips?
Desperate for another dose of danger
Close your eyes and let the feeling take over
As you’re washed away by the fear
Acceptance is something that’s hard to live by
When regret is only friend that you hold dear

 [bad word] 
It’s in your veins creeping slowly to your heart
It’s sinking in as your eyes are getting heavy
Don’t fall asleep, don’t fall asleep
Don’t drift into this nightmare
Don’t fall asleep, don’t fall asleep
Or you will never see

There’s no [bad word] in the way you look at me
Searching the surface for what you want to see
But you’re mind is set you’re blind as can be
You’ll never know what lies beneath
