Cracking under pressure violently
Chaos eats away the best of meA former shadow of myself
Porcelain doll just an empty shell
Bug in amber that can't be reached
Chocking on fear that stings like bleachGimme the real thing, gimme the life
Give me something deep, something straight
Like a sharpened knifeGimme the real thing, gimme the life
Give me a fresh start like a newborn child
Gimme the real thingHave no friends I'm always by myself
I can not pacify my shame and doubt
Drain them dry and damn them all to hell
I have no control or any will to stopEverything perfect just melts away
I've got the touch like evil prey
Talking pictures in black and white
Spitting their venom back at mineGimme the real thing, gimme the life
Give me something deep, something straight
Like a sharpened knifeGimme the real thing, gimme the life
Give me a fresh start like a newborn childGimme the real thing, gimme the life
Give me something deep, something straight
Like a sharpened knifeGimme the real thing, gimme the life
Give me a fresh start like a newborn child
Gimme the real thingEverything old is new again
My only crime buried under cold skin
In the quiet of my tiger's eye
Cross my heart and hope to dieGimme the real thing
Gimme the real thing, gimme the life
Give me something deep, something straight
Like a sharpened knifeGimme the real thing, gimme the life
Give me a fresh start like a newborn child
Gimme the real thingGimme the real thing, gimme the life
Give me a fresh start like a newborn child
Gimme the real thing
