Lyrics[edit]

    And then I found how to be what you want
    when I was out looking for something new
    
    Digging too deep
    and now it's too late
    we just keep on 
    breaking the same old ground
    
    So you think that I asked for this
    well, let me show you 
    what I think of your lips
    And you think that I asked for this
    come on, 
    use your fist
    
    And then I found how to be what you want
    when I was out looking for something new
    
    Digging too deep
    and now it's too late
    we just keep on 
    breaking the same old ground
    
    So you think that I asked for this
    well, let me show you 
    what I think of your lips
    And you think that I asked for this
    come on, 
    use your fist
    
    When I found how to be what you want
    I was out looking for something new
    digging too deep
    now it's too late
    we just keep on 
    breaking the same old ground
    breaking the same old ground
    shhhhhh…
    shhhhhh…
    
    I am owned by death 
    and 
    I'm in love with oblivion
    
    I am owned by death 
    and 
    I'm in love with oblivion
