lyrics

Please can we not pretend
That you're down in the desert
With all your friends
I'm sure you're with your lovers

Please can we not pretend
That you're down in the desert
With faithful friends
I know you're with those others

Brick by brick you build me up
Granite teeth tear me down
Smiling with their open arms

Grain by grain I build it up
With great mountains looming down
Silence in the buried town

Play me play me play me
I know that you turn me inside out
Play me play me play me
Filling up my empty skull with doubt

You know I won't condemn
The grey vacuum I left
And I don't need to defend
The skeletons you discover

I know you won't condemn
The nothingness I left
And I don't need to defend
The secrets you discover

Brick by brick you build me up
Granite teeth will tear me down
Smiling with their open arms

Play me play me play me
I know that you turn me inside out
Play me play me play me
You're filling up my empty skull with doubt
Play me play me play me
Make my red blood run green and blue
Play me play me play me
Make my body a slave for you

Play me play me play me
I know that you turn me inside out
Play me play me play me
Filling up my empty skull with doubt
Play me play me play me
Make my red blood run green and blue
Play me play me play me
Make my body a slave for you
Make my body a slave for you
Make my body a slave for you
