Verve Pipe - Acting As Your Slave Lyrics

my hand asleep for hours
waiting for the needles to begin
i have no control
they proceed to penetrate my skin

acting as your slave i drink for amber waves
i never have embraced
acting as your slave i drink an open grave
an epitaph defaced

killing with compassion
she hasn't heard a word that i have said
swallowing your passion
i can see a thousand miles ahead

acting as your slave i drink for barricades
that i have often raised
acting as your slave i numb my head and rave
of epitaphs defaced

acting as your slave i drink while she forgave
with trials left unfaced
acting as your slave i stumble to her grave
an epitaph defaced
