 There's  only need, I love your need,
 So  much I'm losing me.
 I cannot  see the reason for the pain.
 With  hungry joy, I'll be your toy,
 Just  hoping you will play,
 Without  the hope, my body starts to fail
 Memories  fade but the scars  still linger,
 Goodbye  my friend,
 Will  I ever love again,
 Memories  fade but the scars  still linger...  oh.....
 (slide base E 5th fret down to open)
 I cannot grow, I canot move,
 I cannot feel my age,
 The vice like grip of tension holds me fast,
 Engulged by you, what can I do,
 When history's my cage.
 Look forward to a future in the past.
 The more I talk, the more I say,
 The less you seem to hear.
 I'm speechless in a most peculiar way.
 Your mind is weak, your need is great,
 And nothing is too dear,
 For you to use to take the pain away.

And nothing is too dear,
For you to use to take the pain away.
