untitled (possible title "take everything"?) - Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You should have been left behind in the past, where you belong
You should have been catching up with karma, where did it go wrong?
I should have been flying free and leaving behind all this blue
I should have been doing anything but thinking about you

[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel the darkness closing in
It wraps around my neck and grasps my limbs
You're making me play games that I can't win
With every loss, a new mark on my skin

[Chorus]
Visions and lies
That drip with spite
The script, the song, and dance
Lust for control
The leading role
For which I never asked
Open a heart
And these old scars
To peer into and through
My shields you found
Say "take them down"
But they're there because of you

You want everything and still you want more
You take everything and then take some more

[Verse 2]
A show of warmth that only serves to lead my sense astray
I'd rather be alone forever, if it meant getting away
If my life only has meaning as a puppet in your play
Then cut my strings and send me to oblivion anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel the darkness closing in
Like ropes go 'round my neck and grasp my limbs
You're making me play games that I can't win
With every loss, a new mark on my skin

[Chorus]
Visions and lies
That drip with spite
The script, the song, and dance
Lust for control
The leading role
For which I never asked
Open a heart
And these old scars
To peer into and through
My shields you found
Say "take them down"
They're there because of you

You want everything and still you want more
You take everything and then take some more

[Verse 3/Bridge/Whatever]
My throat is just too hoarse for me to cry
And all the tears I could have shed run dry
I see you in the corner of my eye
Your love makes me
wanna die

[Chorus 2]
Visions and lies
That sound so wise
The script, the song, and dance
Lust for control
The leading role
For which I never asked
Open a heart
And these old scars
Should have never let you in
My shields you found
You take them down
Because you always win

You want everything and still you want more
You take everything and then take some more

You've taken it all, yet you still want more
