Count backwards from ten, and you'll see the change
Except in your heart, it's sadly the same
If you were the queen, who would you choose for a king?
Or would you rather be free, or like a dog on a chain?
I'm not so sure, all things are as you say

Nothing's going fast enough tonight, nothing's gonna feed your appetite
All the lights are on, it comforts no one but your silhouette
Nothing's gonna keep you satisfied, though a million boys would love to try
Build new cages, but the beast rules every corner of your life

I can see it coming over you, you've got your eyes on sharpened knives
I can see it coming over you, you'll turn your friends to alibis
I can see it, it's inside of you, I heard it in your voice last night
I can see it coming over you, you've got your eyes on sharpened knives
And it's cutting your life lines

Nothing's going fast enough tonight, nothing's gonna feed your appetite
All the lights are on, it comforts no one but your silhouette
Nothing's gonna keep you satisfied, though a million boys would love to try
Build new cages, but the beast rules every corner of your life

Perfect, it'd be perfect, just to forget yourself

Wretched melodies call you from the deep
When you should be sleeping
Want becomes a need as you feel the beast
Sacrifice your freedom

Wretched melodies call you from the deep
When you should be sleeping
And they know your name
And they know your name
