  • (I need)
    (I need) someone to talk to

    ((I need) someone to talk to))

    I have a piece of glass, I'm ready to carve
    Your name across my chest, consider it art
    No contusions, I wanna see stains
    Fix the problem, not the blame

    I'll catch a fever, it's a wonderful high
    I wanna go the way of the superstars
    I got my razor and I'm willing to slice
    All the way to my heart

    We had a love but where did it go?
    I never thought we were vulnerable
    I begged you baby, "can you please not go?
    'Cause I need somebody to talk to" (oh oh)

    You have a feast at last, I'm ready to starve
    You ain't got nothing left, I've only it all
    I have to live here, you get to leave
    Fix the problem, not the blame

    I'll catch a fever, it's a wonderful high
    I wanna go the way of the superstars
    I got my razor and I'm willing to slice
    All the way to my heart

    We had a love but where did it go?
    I never thought we were vulnerable (oh oh)
    I begged you baby, "can you please not go?
    'Cause I need somebody to talk to" (oh oh)
    We had a blast, yeah we did explode
    I want to see where the shrapnel goes (oh oh)
    I always thought we were impenetrable
    But I need somebody to talk to (oh oh)

    This is all you've ever known
    Take a truth, turn it to stone
    The more you lie, the stranger you seem
    We won't be careful 'cause we know we can
    This is all in the name of the wee man

    When the body ends, do we decay or rise again?
    Do we surround ourselves with simple common sense
    Or do we hold onto consciousness?

    When the body ends, do we decay or rise again?
    Do we surround ourselves with simple common sense
    Or do we hold onto consciousness? Writer/s: Simon Alexander Neil
