So the hours keep slipping by like mercury
The drug of your attention drags
Me so far down
Keep letting you sink your claws into my heart
Though I know it's a lie
Doesn't mean I won't try
To make you love me

And though I know
It's a trap
I can't let go
You're stuck in my mind

Old habits die hard and I know that I'm breaking
My mind has gone away
Now I'm yours for the taking
I can't stop myself
I just want to die
And I know you don't care and that nothing is real
But ******* I'm a ******* sucker for you
And when you hold me I think it all could come true

And though I know
It's a trap
I can't let go
You're stuck in my mind

I can feel I should hate you but I just can't
Should despise you for forcing your way into my head
And building a nest
Of your lies and deceit
And feeding me wishes and broken-off dreams

Why do I keep letting you in
When I know you couldn't care less
Why am I losing myself
When God knows it's nothing
As far as you're concerned
And I'm spiralling into
The cold-hearted desert of you

And though I know
It's a trap
I can't let go
You're stuck in my mind
And I'm running the hell out of time
