And in the silence something begins to unravel He says he loves her, what can you say to that He's made up his mind and there ain't nothin' you can do And as you swallow hard, maybe you drive all night Tryin' to figure out where the whole thing started

Fame, fame, fame, fame Fame, fame, fame Fame makes a man take things over Fame lets him loose, hard to swallow Fame puts you there where things are hollow (fame) Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame That burns your change to keep you insane

Tell your friends not to think aloud Until they swallow Whisper things into my brain Your voice sounds so hollow I am not a leader of men Since I prefer to follow Do you think I could have a drink Since it's so hard to swallow So hard to swallow

In my life, ill need you here, don't ask why I'll never disappear Let's take a blast to the moon baby I sit around wishing you well How I'm craving you, yeah! Every time I'm near you I always want to swallow you down I'll be right here if ya need me Why

Tell your friends not to think aloud Until they swallow Whisper things into my brain Your voice sounds so hollow I am not a leader of men Since I prefer to follow Do you think I could have a drink Since it's so hard to swallow So hard to swallow

We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time Voice your prophecy, shed us some light Fell sorrow for mankind's chance to survive Swallowed lies and swam in your own tears A stab in the dark and it wounded our will Man's coming more corrupt

You wanted to play the coldness follows This isn't a game your life I'll swallow You wanted to play but I already won 1 I love hurting you 2 I love your pain 4 is for the torture and 5 is for the shame 'Cause ever time you want it I get off on this game

I'm standing here naked (naked, naked) I wanna give you everything I'm not going to wait until you're done You're ready to swallow all your pride 'Cause here I am, I'm givin' all I can Yeah, I'm right here, I'm tryin' to make it clear Pretending you

I'm alive for you I'm awake because of you I'm alive I told you I'm awake swallowing you Tearing it back unveiling me Taking a step back so I can breathe Hear the silence about to break Fear resistance when I'm awake Wait another minute
