Lyrics

I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break the spell that you've created
It's 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
(Bury it)
(I won't let you bury it)
(I won't let you smother it)
(I won't let you murder it)
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
Ow!
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
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
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it, woo!
'Cause our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, please, yeah
Yeah, you will suck the life out of me
And bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it, ow!
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes!
