You're so damn cold, you've got no feeling
I want my blood hotter
Not satisfied, I need to taste it
Your sex is so over
Got the gun in my hand and I'm pointing straight
To the target and I'm gonna blow my brakes
I don't need you, my touch is better
I'm rolling much harder
Lights out, I'm on
Got my darkness, I'm into myself, don't need you
'Cause I'm gone so high
Got my darkness, I'm into myself, don't need you
'Cause I can make it feel just like I'm hanging on
Yeah, I can do it better when I'm all alone
Lights out, so high
All alone
I've got a body of my own
I'm in control, my hands are shaking
My skin's getting wetted
I'm coming close, it's overloading
I'm walking with fire
Spin around in my head, I'm screaming out
But with you in the room I can never shout
This heroin, I'm sinking so deep
Wish I could stay here forever
Lights out, I'm on
Got my darkness, I'm into myself, don't need you
'Cause I'm gone so high
Got my darkness, I'm into myself, don't need you
'Cause I can make it feel just like I'm hanging on
Yeah, I can do it better when I'm all alone
Lights out, so high
All alone
I've got a body of my own
Lights out
Got my darkness, I'm into myself, don't need you
'Cause I'm gone so high
Got my darkness, I'm into myself, don't need you
'Cause I'm gone, so high
Got my darkness, I'm into myself, don't need you
'Cause I'm gone so high
Got my darkness, I'm into myself, don't need you
'Cause I'm gone
