Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm in the room without a light, a room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night, another night with you
It tortures me to move my hands, to try to move at all
And pulled my skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams and pulls some more
[Pre-Chorus]
Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
[Chorus 1]
I'm helpless, I'm helpless again
Oh, I'm helpless again
[Verse 2]
My body is cut and broken, it's shattered and sore
My body is cut wide open, I can't stand anymore
It tortures me to move my hands, to try to move at all
And pulled my skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams and screams some more
[Pre-Chorus]
Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
[Chorus 2]
Oh, it's torture
And I'm almost there
It's torture, oh
And I'm almost there
[Chorus 2]
It's torture, oh
But I'm almost there
It's torture, oh
But I'm almost there
[Refrain]
It's torture, oh
It's torture, oh
It's torture, oh
It's torture, oh
But I'm almost there
