Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed
The milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead
I’m not quiet, you’ve been quiet, just receiving what you said
Reeling, feeding, feeling filled by everything you fed
I see you as you see yourself through all the books you read
Overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease
You give me chills
I’ve had it with the drills
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
I am empty ‘til she fills
Alive until she kills
In her vampire empire I am
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
I see you there rejecting all your earthly power
Protecting and dissecting ‘til you’ve emptied every hour
We jump into the pond then we come under the shower
You lay upon my pillow and you open like a flower
I wanted to see you naked, I wanted to hear you scream
Wanted to kiss your skin and your everything
I wanted to be your woman, I wanted to be your man
I wanted to be the one that you could understand
You give me chills
I’ve had it with the drills
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
I am empty ‘til she fills
Alive until she kills
In her vampire empire I am
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Well, I walked into your dagger for the last time
It’s like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow
Where You can’t seem to hold me, can’t seem to let me go
So I can’t find surrender, and I can’t keep control
You turn me inside out and then you want the outside in
You spin me all around and then you ask me not to spin
You say you wanna be alone and you want children
You wanna be with me, you wanna be with him
You give me chills
I’ve had it with the drills
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
I am empty ‘til she fills
Alive until she kills
In her vampire empire I am
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah

After the first stars formed
After the dinos fell
After the first light flickered outta this motel
1991, mama pushin’ like hell
Tangled in blood and vine
From my first steps, to my first words
To waddlin’ around lookin’ at birds
To the teenage nightmare, mine and yours
Thank God we made it through
Cause I was born for lovin’ you
Just somethin’ I was made to do
Doesn’t matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you
Now we’re here, but where is here?
Sometimes we both disappear
Into that shadow box of fear
That tiny old abyss
From the first kiss, to the first fuck
I don’t think it’s just good luck
Take me to the back of your pickup truck
Show me a thing or two
Cause I was born for lovin’ you
That’s just something I was made to do
Doesn’t matter what dreams come true
I was born for lovin’ you
When the hard times come
And the hard times stay
When they stick around, and won’t go away
When it seems there’s nothing you can do or say
Nowhere you can turn
From the last breath of my first death
To this lifetime and lifetimes left
Congratulations, no regrets
It’s true
I was born for lovin’ you
Just something I was made to do
Doesn’t matter what dreams come true
I was born for lovin’ you
Just something I was made to do
Doesn’t matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you
