You're not the first, you won't be the last
You are the vaccine that's gonna cure my past
You are alpha, omega
Be my Sirius, I'll be your Vega
You're so far ahead of your time
Call you HO-229
If I bleed you a river, will you sink or swim?
Will I be the one to reel you in?
For just one touch of her milk-white skin
I sacrificed a piece of myself and I let love in
For just one taste of her nectar
Bathed in red neon light, I fell down on my knees and begged her
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
The bread I gave you, not fit to taste
My body is dry and bitter, my faith in you displaced
The wine you gave me, not meant to share
I'm experiencing the new despair
Though you might go by a different name
Nothing changes, the objective remains the same
I'm descending into the spider's lair
And I'm teaching myself, teaching myself, teaching myself
New despair
New despair
Despair
Despair
Nothing that I say or do
Will ever be good enough for
I'm tethered, forever pulling threads of you
Forever lost with regret of you
