Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created
[Verse 2]
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
Yeah, you will be the death of me
[PreChorus]
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
[Chorus]
And our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
[Verse 3]
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
[Verse 4]
Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
[PreChorus]
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
[Chorus]
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
[Bridge]
How did it come to this?
[Verse 5]
Yeah, you will suck the life out of me
[PreChorus]
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
[Chorus]
And our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
[Bridge]
How did it come to this?
