Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What I want from you is empty your head

But they say, be true, don't stain your bed

And we do what we need to be free

And it leans on me like a rootless tree

[Verse 2]

What I want from us is empty our minds

But we fake, we fuss and fracture the times

We go blind when we've needed to see

And this leans on me like a rootless

[Verse 3]

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and all we've been through

I said, leave it, leave it, leave it, it's nothing to you

And if you hate me, hate me, hate me

Then hate me so good

That you can let me out, let me out

Let me out of this hell when you're around

[Verse 4]

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out

Let me out

[Verse 5]

What I want from this is learn to let go

But, no, not of you, of all that's been told

Killers reinvent and believe

And this leans on me like a rootless

[Verse 6]

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and all we've been through

I said, leave it, leave it, leave it, it's nothing to you

And if you hate me, hate me, hate me

Then hate me so good

That you can let me out, let me out

Let me out of this hell when you're around

[Verse 7]

Let me out, let me out

Let me out of this hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out

[Verse 8]

Fuck you, fuck you, love you and all we've been through

I said, leave it, leave it, leave it, it's nothing to you

And if you hate me, hate me, hate me

Then hate me so good

That you can let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

[Verse 9]

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out

[Verse 10]

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, hell when you're around

[Verse 11]

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, hell when you're around
