After months of grieving, fuck the grief I'm leaving
Will you leave with me?
The blood loss, the towering cost
Mouth to mouth, tongue to tongue
The lick brings warm the talent taste
I can't correct myself, convince you
That there's no-one else in volume, good news
If you want a safe, you don't want me

It's not the answer that's taken plaster of shattered bone
What do you need, what do you need from me
It's not the answer to the cancer like the cold
What do you need, what do you need from me?
It's not the answer, I'm just begging to be told
What do you need, what do you need from me
If I had the answer, write a book of what I know
What do you need, what do you need from me?
