you let me violate you, you let me desecrate you you let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you i broke apart my insides, i've got no soul to sell the only thing that works for me, help me get away i want to fuck you i want to taste you i want to feel you i want to be you just like an animal you can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings you can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything you tear down all my reason, you see through what i hide you make me perfect, help me get inside i want to fuck you i want to taste you i want to feel you i want to be you

wherever i go i take a little piece of you i collect i reject photographs i took of you the towns i passed through so many faces so many places i have got to have a memory or i have never been there i have never had you i can't remember give me a reminder i collect i reject memorabilia (now girl… only it's flavor… bow down here) keychains and snowstorms the taste of your sweat the look in your eye i have been inside you i know what it feels like (wet as it is… the whiter the honey) i collect i reject memorabilia (goodies come in here all day) give me a reminder i can't remember i collect i reject
