This afternoon I woke up to the sound of a demolition crew on my front porch

I must confess I am quite unimpressed at your half-hearted efforts to do me in

Ungrateful girl, I give you my love, and you try to deconstruct me

But I'm not worried; I know it's just a matter of time till you realize your crime against your own vulnerabilities

And come crawling back to me

​

You can't escape, my sweet love, no matter how fast you may run

Bring on your drugs and your shrinks, love, eventually everyone leaves everyone

It's a cruel empty world my love, I'm all you've got to hold onto

You can't survive without my drug --

and if you could I'm not entirely sure why you'd want to

​

I don't intend to hurt you, love, only to save your soul

In a world full of gods breaking all their own laws, I'm an island of sacred control

Freedom will leave you with scars, forever disfigure your skin

I'll make you perfect and keep you from harm -- as long as you never let anyone else in
