When you are ready, I will surrender Take me and do as you will Have what you want, your way's always the best way I have succumbed to this passive sensation Peacefully falling away I am the zombie your wish will command me Laugh as I fall to my knees Can I control this empty delusion? Lost in the fire below And you come running your eyes will be open And when you come back, I'll be as you want me Only so eager to please My little song will keep you beside me Thinking your name as I sing (Sing it back to me) (Sing it back to me) No, you can't help it if you have been tempted By fruit hanging ripe on the tree And I feel useless Don't care what the truth is You will be here come the day Truth do you hear me? Don't try to come near me So tired I sleep through the lie If you desire to lay here beside me Come to my sweet melody Sing it back to me (sing it) Bring it back (sing it) Sing it back (sing it) Bring it back Sing it back to me (Sing it, sing it, sing it) (Sing it back to me) Bring it back Sing it back Bring it back Sing it back to me
