lyrics

Just step aside and try to hold your tongue.
And we’ll let you know when this is done.
It won’t be long ‘til you can speak again.
And we’ll let you know when to begin.

Even the pain, yeah, we hunger to feel -
it’s just a shadow.
And for my name, yeah, it’s just as we feared.
I’ve gone and cast it off.

Ooh, Long since forgotten
And we thirst for yours.

So say what you want,
And do what you can,
But I’ll watch you break down.
What have I done?

So see this is why I’ve brought you here with me,
‘Cause I want new life, a new life.
And I have a feeling it’s not even my blood
that runs through my veins anyway.
God it’s a shame it’s so easy to steal,
I want nothing less than yours.
And pity remorse only used to be real:
a remnant of my past.

And if truth be told I’ve forgotten,
I’ve forgotten how to feel,
I’ve got to find somebody else to show me how.

All that I desire is to know it, to feel it.
And I want to get it right, to get it right the first time.
And it will all be done before you know.
And you might chance to see just what I’ve become.

And I’m going to get it right the first time,
And it will all be done before you know.
You’ll give everything that you have.

So you can say what you will, yeah
and you can do what you want,
But before you know,
you’ll give everything that you have.

So now the time has come
For me to take your life, yeah.
And now the deed is done.
