The night is starting here we go
I check out everything
This is our time to lose control
What do you want from me
You line them up we'll put them down
This is so frustrating
To watch you sleezing all around
Yet you keep on smiling

What can I do to make you see?
You're guilty
What can I do to make you feel?
You're wanted
What can I do to make you see?
You're guilty
I'm suffocating under words of sorrow

Her skin reflects behind the blur
I'm intoxicated
Where am I from why am I here
(Your so predictable)
Fingers running through my hair?
But its all just fiction
She steps out from her underwear?
So beautiful

What can I do to make you see?
You're guilty
What can I do to make you feel?
You're wanted
What can I do to make you see?
You're guilty
I'm suffocating under words of sorrow

Go!

(There's bodies lying on the floor)
But I keep on staring?
(My world is over, close the door)

Her skin reflects behind the blur
I'm intoxicated
Where am I from? Why am I here?
(You're so predictable)
Fingers running through my hair
I'm a new addiction
She steps out from her underwear
(So beautiful)

What can I do to make you see?
You're guilty
What can I do to make you feel?
You're wanted
What can I do to make you see?
You're guilty
I'm suffocating under words of sorrow
Words of sorrow
