All I wanted was to be brought to my knees

But I could not see the forest for the trees

All I saw inside the thing behind your face

Was a sickness and a chill I can/like an embrace

CHORUS

Read/Breathe more into me

I swear I know I'm bringing out the worst in you

You're throwing up your hands

And not believing I can even speak or even understand

Read more into me

I swear I know I don't know what I'm doing there

But I'm scratching the surface of these lies

I on your back

You on your way

And all I did not want was to be left behind

Or be punished for the workings of my mind

But all I saw inside the thing behind your face

Was a sickness and a chill and an embrace

(But all I saw when I extended both my arms

Was a stranger so seducing with her charms)

CHORUS

But we never seem to get the things we ask for

Till we stop demanding everything we know we just don't need

But I am sickened by the thought of losing everything

And all because I failed to fully realize my greed

CHORUS
