Lyrics

[00:22.440] Take a look at my body,
[00:26.450] look at my hands
[00:29.290] there's so much here that I don't understand
[00:34.940] Your face saving promises,
[00:37.700] whispered like prayers
[00:40.160] I don't need them.
[00:41.470]
[00:44.880] Cuz I've been treated so wrong
[00:49.260] I've been treated so long as if I'm becoming untouchable...
[00:51.160]
[00:56.320] Well, contempt loves the silence
[01:01.360] it thrives in the dark,
[01:02.680] the fine winding tendrils that strangle the heart
[01:08.090] They say that promises sweeten the blow
[01:13.080] but I don't need them... no I don't need them.
[01:18.810] I've been treated so wrong,
[01:21.390] I've been treated so long as if I'm becoming untouchable
[01:29.670] I'm a slow dying flower
[01:34.170] in the frost killing hour
[01:36.090] sweet turning sour
[01:38.810] & untouchable.
[01:40.420]
[02:04.350] ooh I need
[02:05.000] the darkness,
[02:05.530] the sweetness,
[02:06.500] the sadness,
[02:08.120] the weakness,
[02:11.520] ooh I need this.
[02:15.020] Need a lullabye,
[02:16.520] a kiss goodnight,
[02:17.960] angel, sweet love of my life
[02:22.440] ooh I need this
[02:25.150]
[02:25.730] I'm a slow dying flower
[02:30.990] frost killing hour
[02:32.580] the sweet turning sour
[02:34.140] & untouchable
[02:35.710]
[02:39.930] Do you remember the way that you touched me before,
[02:45.200] all the trembling sweetness
[02:48.290] I loved and adored...
[02:51.400] Your face saving promises
[02:54.230] whispered like prayers.
[02:57.170] I don't need them.
[02:58.060]
[03:02.210] I need the darkness,
[03:03.620] the sweetness,
[03:05.070] the sadness,
[03:06.420] the weakness,
[03:10.310] ooh I need this.
[03:13.370] I need a lullabye
[03:15.000] a kiss goodnight,
[03:16.440] angel, sweet love of my life
[03:21.780] ooh I need this
[03:24.780] Well, is it dark enough,
[03:26.420] can you see me?
[03:27.760] do you want me?
[03:29.090] can you reach me?
[03:32.920] or I'm leaving...
[03:35.930] you better shut your mouth
[03:37.330] and hold your breath
[03:38.910] you kiss me now,
[03:40.360] you catch your death
[03:44.260] oh I mean this...
[03:55.990] oh I mean this..
