lyrics:

watching tv tired, bleeding on the bed

the milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead

i'm not quiet, you’ve been quiet, just receiving what you said

reeling, feeding, feeling filled by everything you fed

i see you as you see yourself through all the books you read

overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease

you give me chills

i've had it with the drills

i am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills

i am empty ‘til she fills

alive until she kills

in her vampire empire i’m the fish and she’s my gills

falling, yeah

falling, yeah

i see you there rejecting all your earthly power

protecting and dissecting until you’ve emptied every hour

we jump into the pond then we come under the shower

you lay upon my pillow and you open like a flower

i wanted to see you naked, i wanted to hear you scream

wanted to kiss your skin and your everything

i wanted to be your woman and i wanted to be your man

i wanted to be the one that you could understand

you give me chills

Iive had it with the drills

i am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills

i am empty ‘til she fills

alive until she kills

in her vampire empire i’m the fish and she’s my gills

falling, yeah

falling, yeah

i walked into your dagger for the last time in a row

it’s like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow

you can’t seem to hold me here, can’t seem to let me go

so i can’t find surrender, can’t keep control

you turn me inside out and then you want the outside in

you spin me all around and then you ask me not to spin

you say you wanna be alone and you want children

you wanna be with me, you wanna be with him

you give me chills

i’ve had it with the drills

i am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills

i am empty ‘til she fills

alive until she kills

in her vampire empire i’m the fish and she’s my gills

falling, yeah

falling, yeah
