[Verse 1]
Don't close the shades, I'm scared of the darkness
I'm cold as a razor blade, inches from madness
Don't let me sleep here, they're all trying to kill me
I've seen the walls moving, they've all heard me screaming, screaming
[Chorus]
Feed me
Feed my needs and then just leave me
Let me go back where you found me
Because I miss my basement
The sweet smell of new paint
The warmth and the comforts of home
So feed me
Give me my treatment and free me
My arms are so hungry so feed me
[Verse 2]
The room's so distorted, and filled with mad shadows
I feel like a carcass, white like a marrow bone
It all seems so long ago, I remember them laughing
I heard the ambulance scream, I saw the red light flashing, flashing
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Feed me
Don't close the shades, I'm scared of the darkness
I'm cold as a razor blade, inches from madness
Don't let me sleep here, they're all trying to kill me
I've seen the walls moving, they've all heard me screaming, screaming
[Chorus]
Feed me
Feed my needs and then just leave me
Let me go back where you found me
Because I miss my basement
The sweet smell of new paint
The warmth and the comforts of home
So feed me
Give me my treatment and free me
My arms are so hungry so feed me
[Verse 2]
The room's so distorted, and filled with mad shadows
I feel like a carcass, white like a marrow bone
It all seems so long ago, I remember them laughing
I heard the ambulance scream, I saw the red light flashing, flashing
[Chorus]
[Outro]
