Lyrics
What have you done to me?
You drain the life out of me 'til I don't know myself
When all your faith in reality fades away
Who will you follow?
Are we alone now?
I can't find the way out
I keep waking in the same fever dream
A cure for desire
We're playing with fire
We're drawn to light
We're broken and blinded by it
We're dying for release
If all this fear was born in my mind
I gave you everything you'll ever bе
What have you done to me?
You drain thе life out of me 'til I don't know myself
When all your faith in reality fades away
Who will you follow then?
I feel the changes
A crack in the matrix
Break through the lies like an axe through the screen
You can't stop desire (can't stop desire)
We are the fire (fire)
Wake up to the madness
The rats in the wall
Are already coming through
Lift this twisted veil from our eyes
Forever and ever
What have you done to me?
You drain the life out of me 'til I don't know myself
When all your faith in reality fades away
Who will you follow then?
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
What have you done to me?
You drain the life out of me 'til I don't know myself
When all your faith in reality fades away
Who will you follow? (Ooh)
