[Verse 1:]
Hey you
I wanna surrender
I don’t wanna remember
I want you to hurt me
Hey you
You cannot harm me
You won’t alarm me
I want you to hurt me

[Chorus:]
Don’t stop
Take me into those islands
Show me how to find them
Put me on a ship
To cross the sea of suffering
Pins drop
Take me to the silence
Even if there’s violence
Even if it’s just a paradise of nothing

[Verse 2:]
Hey you
I want you to control me
Don’t want you to hold me
I want you to hurt me
Hey you
Don’t be so timid
You’re nowhere near my limit
I want you to hurt me

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Hey you
Cut me if you need to
You know I need to cut through
Cut through myself

[Chorus:]
Don’t stop
Why are you so timid
You’re nowhere near my limit
Take me to a place
Somewhere that’s worth discovering
Pins drop
Take me to the silence
Even if there’s violence
Even if it’s just a paradise of nothing

[Outro:]
Hey you
Take me to those islands
Show me how to find them
Put me on a ship
To cross the sea of suffering
