You say it's beginning
to feel like you’re always sacrificed
Crumbs in the toaster

Now that I'm listening
you have a couple tiny things
that we should go over

Without a warning,
it's likely that nothing will ever change
So you better be ready

Without a warning, baby,
it's possible everything’s the same
It'll shock me forever, again and again...

You always feel like you’re under attack
Your sirens call and you’re tied to the mast

I'll give the sermon,
pounding it out on the bedroom wall
I'll show you a good time

That's the sound of my nervous system
preaching verses to soothe your savage soul
I'll shock you forever

You always feel like you’re under attack
Your sirens call and you’re tied to the mast

You don’t talk to me that way

It's a temptation, baby
But are you the moth? Are you the fire?
Either way, you'll be burning

It's an act of creation, baby
You're building yourself a place to hide,
and plot your destruction…again and again

You make me feel like I’m under attack
Your siren’s call has me lashed to the mast

You don't talk to me that way

I know you’re giving your heart away
Don’t know if you’re signaling to go or stay
No telling if I’m settling or satisfied
Still I can’t get your love out of my mind all the time
