Count backwards from ten
And you'll see the change
Except in your heart
It's sadly the same

And if you were the queen
Who would you choose for a king?
Or would you rather be free?
Or like a dog on a chain?

I'm not so sure
All things are as you say

Nothing's going fast enough tonight
Nothing's gonna feed your appetite
All the lights are on, it comforts no one but your silhouette
Nothing's gonna keep you satisfied
Though a million boys would love to try
Build new cages, but the beast rules every corner of your life

I can see it coming over you
You've got your eyes on sharpened knives
I can see it coming over you
You'll turn your friends to alibis

I can see it, it's inside of you
I heard it in your voice last night
I can see it coming over you
You've got your eyes on sharpened knives
And it's cutting your lifelines

Nothing's going fast enough tonight
Nothing's gonna feed your appetite
All the lights are on, it comforts no one but your silhouette
Nothing's gonna keep you satisfied
Though a million boys would love to try
Build new cages, but the beast rules every corner of your life

Perfect, it'd be perfect
Just to forget yourself

Wretched melodies call you from the deep
When you should be sleeping
Want becomes a need as you feed the beast
Sacrifice your freedom

Wretched melodies call you from the deep
When you should be sleeping
And they know your name
And they know your name
