Lyrics

Real Thing

Cracking under pressure violently

Chaos eats away the best of me

A former shadow of myself

Porcelain doll, just an empty shell

Bug in amber that can't be reached

Choking on fear that stings like bleach

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Give me something deep

Something straight

Like a sharpened knife

Gimme the real thing

Gimme me the life

Gimme the life

Gimme a fresh start

Like a newborn child

Gimme the real thing

I have no friends

I'm always by myself

I cannot pacify my shame and doubt

Drain them dry

And damn them all to hell

I've no control or any will to stop

Everything perfect just melts away

I've got the touch like evil prey

Talking pictures in black and white

Spitting their venom back at mine

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Give me something deep

Something straight

Like a sharpened knife

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme the life

Gimme a fresh start

Like a newborn child

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme the life

Give me something deep

Something straight

Like a sharpened knife

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme the life

Gimme a fresh start

Like a newborn child

Gimme the real thing

Everything old is new again

My only crime buried under cold skin

In the quiet of my tiger's eye

Cross my heart and hope to die

Gimme the real thing

The real thing

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme the life

Give me something deep

Something straight

Like a sharpened knife

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme the life

Gimme a fresh start

Like a newborn child

Gimme the real thing...

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme a fresh start

Like a newborn child

Gimme the real thing
