lyrics
I wanna have you
Grab you
Lacerate you
Like a dog that's starving
Looking for a piece of meat
I wanna feel you
Eat you
Infilitrate you
Wanna know why you would feel
Like you're the one for me
I wanna taste you
Waste you
Deconstruct you
Wanna know what lies behind
That pain-killing smile
I wanna love you
Draw you
Celebrate you
I wanna see you abdicate the jewels
From your cradle
You can say what you say
What you want to me
But there's sore deep in my soul
That no love can heal
Now you can say what you say
What you want to me
But there's sore deep in my soul
That no love can heal
It's low-cost Demerol
It's your love
Demerol
I wanna see you
Drill you
Navigate you
I'll come up with a reason
To explore your treason
Wanna play you
Stray you
Exaggerate you
Wanna ingrain this reverie
On your deepest memories
Now you can say what you say
What you want to me
But there's sore deep in my soul
That no love can heal
Now you can say what you say
What you want to me
But there's sore deep in my soul
That no love can heal
Take me to
A place where you'll
Break your beauty down
Let go of your crown
I wanna hear the sounds
Of your moans so loud
I want to exercise
Your deepest demons inside
Say what you say
What you want to me
But there's sore deep in my soul
That no love can heal
Now you can say what you say
What you want to me
But there's sore deep in my soul
That no love can heal
It's low-cost Demerol
It's your love
Demerol
