lyrics

They take you into the room of destitution
Confused and exhausted you cannot resist them
They clutch you and kick you, oh they hold you so tight
The hero and hope you thought would save you
Is lost in the night

Like some restless dream
From which you cannot flee
Like somone paralysed who's mind needs to break free

So take what you want of me, consume what you can
Take what you need of me, but you cannot have what I am

Deep inside me; a vibrance, a burning flame
You can steal what you see, but you cannot have me

They take you out of your room and say there's things to be said
Hung a lock round your neck of control and consequence
They have you under lock and key now and those who hold the key:
Their minds are infernos, what will they do to me?

Oh their minds are infernos, nothing else can exist
Oh their minds are volcanos and the eruptions persist

So take what you want of me, consume what you can
Take what you need of me, but you cannot have what I am

My worn flesh is like an army that guards it's master
You can steal what you see, but you cannot have me

You can steal what you see, but you cannot have me
You can steal what you see, but you cannot have me
