[Intro]

Jump, jump, jump

Jump, jump, jump


[Verse 1]

Cop provisions feed my addictions, mistakes I made

Then I opened up the holes and they crawled in

Now when it's time for the feed, they won't let me forget

They ride upon my back and they'll fuck me with their need

My invisible enemies all my monkeys


[Bridge]

They're coming, they're coming, they're coming

They're coming, they're coming

They're coming to take me away, haha


[Verse 2]

Disgusted

With my position

So submissive, I am

The only way we get away is give in

Sharpen up the razors, stab the needles into pipes to kill cravings

So sick of this in me, can't stand the want to need

Can't get free, always got a grip on me


[Chorus 1]

There's no use to fight this wrenching tourniquet of deprivation

(Everything I've become now)

Obedience, subservience leads to substance

(Is everything I didn't want to be)


[Bridge]

(You guys alright?)

Give it to me, give it to me


[Chorus 2]

Leave my motivation to chemical dependency, no room for patience

(Everything I've become now)

(Is everything I didn't want to be)

Don't want it

Need it

Come on

Right now


[Post-Chorus]

Every time I try to run away, I fall on my face

They drag me back

They drag me back

Every time I try to run away, I fall on my face

Help, they won't leave me alone

Help, they won't leave me alone

They won't leave me alone


[Chorus 3]

If I would have known back then what I know now

I'd take it back, I'd take it back

If I would have known back then what I know now

I'd take it back, I'd take it back

I'd take it all fucking back


[Refrain]

Stay away, stay away

Hold me, I'm shaking violently

Pull me out of my covering

Mold me into a new man

Lull me into a deep sleep

Stay away, stay away

Hold me, I'm shaking violently

Pull me out of my covering

Mold me into a new man

Lull me into a deep sleep


[Bridge]

One, two


[Chorus 1]

There's no use to fight this wrenching tourniquet of deprivation

(Everything I've become now)

Obedience, subservience leads to substance

(Is everything I didn't want to be)

Even if you want, you can't stop

Even if you want, you can't stop

Even if you want, you can't stop

Even if you want, you can't stop


[Outro]
