Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
now its non existant
tell me the truth or are you afraid
of sacrificing
hands over my eyes
i feel you kneel me
control me close
maybe ill wake up
ASSUMING NOTHINg
take what you want from me
was it worth it?
are you satisfied
make it all go away
will you come to me
or are you locked inside?
you were the one who said ill be there
i hope you cough on this
holding back the surface are you afraid
of sacrificing
hands over my eyes
i feel you kneel me
control me close
and do something we had
maybe ill wake up
ASSUMING NOTHING
hands over my eyes
i feel you kneel me
control me close
and do something we had
maybe ill wake up
ASSUMING NOTHING
hands over my eyes
i feel you kneel me
control me close
and do something we had
maybe ill wake up
ASSUMING NOTHING
take what you want from me
was it worth it?
are you satisfied
make it all go away
will you come to me
or are you locked inside?
hands over my eyes
i feel you kneel me
control me close
and do something we had
maybe ill wake up
