Lyrics
Sick inside my heart and stomach too
Poisoned by the things I shouldn't do
Weariness is now my closest friend
Was there a time when life was pure?
I can't recall that anymore
What was it like to be a new baby?
Once I have a taste of any fruits
I can never change the things I do
Choices leave their marks along my skin
Look at me now, I'm wearing thin
So much it takes to feel again
Can I regain my innocent touch?
Tell me what I want now
Tell me what I need now
Tell me what I want this time
