Lyrics

Father, I plead in waves

So I don't need you like I used to

Fear and nostalgia say

Hey, I don't have it anymore

Whatever you want

Whatever you need

Bleed from me

Right from me

Bleed from me

I don't have yours or mine

I don't hurt you like I used to

Amy, you must be tired

When you sleep, you sleep alone

And understand the throne

And if he didn't pay

What he had paid

I'd undeniably become erased

So whatever you want

Take whatever you need

And bite your veins

Bleed your pain into me, yeah

Goddamn, I'm tired of lying, oh

I wish I loved you like I used to

So hold on, you pale black eye,

No,'cause when I sleep, I sleep alone

So whatever you want

No, whatever you need

Take from me

Right from me

From you
