Lyrics

I Want to Know

We drink or break open our veins solely to know, solely to know, solely to know

Hunger drives me onward to feel all of the skin, all of the skin, all of the skin

The thrill of the knowing blasts me out of my brain

I want to know, I want to know

Into our eyes, thousands of flashes cause us to feel alive in the skies

I want to know, I want to know

I want to know, I want to know

I have to know, please let me know

Solely to know, solely to know

Oh, I want to know

Oh, I want to know

Please let me know

Solely to know, solely to know, solely to know

Oh, I want to know, I want to know

Please let me know, solely to know

Solely to know, solely to know
