Lyrics

Dearest Helpless

[Verse 1]

Dearest helpless, intent's not as bad as the action

Take a breath to distort the fear in your eyes

I don't mean it to hurt

But everytime I hate you, I think of you first

[Chorus]

He's made you blind

You're better on your own

I'm just that kind to bring you down

[Verse 2]

Equalise the pressure it's all too much

Sex, drugs and image is just enough

To get you by in the real world

[Chorus]

He's made you blind

You're better on your own

I'm just that kind to bring you down

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]

He's made you blind

I'm just that kind

To bring you, to bring you

He's made you blind

You're better on your own

I'm just that kind

To bring you down
