"The verse synth and guitar riff came to me walking into the studio one morning. I had ten minutes to record the idea into ProTools before my day's client would arrive. It came together very quickly after that--before heading home I had the first full demo ready."
lyrics
Your teeth are burning in my skin
Your blood is starting to seep in
Your favourite sin is in my head
Your vile disease is mine instead
I am a slave to every whim
I am your greatest living victim
Still trying to break free
From what you keep doing to me
Held down by the tightest little rope
Held together by a memory of home
But I’ll break myself in two
Half away from you
The world is closing up to me
I am succumbing to your needs
My life has never been my own
You make me yours and yours alone
Held down by the tightest little rope
Held together by a memory of home
But I break myself in two
Half away from you
Held down by the venom in your sting
Held together by the shortest piece of string
I still crave the things you do
Half in love with you
