Crave - Xerathis

[Intro] [distorted guitar chugs, syncopated drum hits] [sustained feedback swell] [Verse 1] [gritty melodic vocals] You weigh the things like a loaded gun One little look and I come undone I know the game, I know the price Still have to roll the fucking dice [Pre-Chorus] [bass-heavy groove, palm-muted guitars] You pull me in and dissipate Give me enough to keep me here I bite my tongue, I play along What are you, what makes me wrong? [Chorus] [full band explosion, screamed vocals] I should have had it, so I want it more You know exactly what I'm begging for Give me what I want, then take it away I fucking crave you every damn day You keep me starving with one more taste I reach for your body and come up with nothing but space [Verse 2] [syncopated kick drum, dissonant guitar lead] You got that look that starts a riot Sweet little threat and I can't stay quiet You know the weakness underneath Still you drag it out of me [Pre-Chorus] [building drum fills] I chase the shape of what could be You keep the leash wrapped tight on me Just out of reach, just out of sight You make denial feel so fucking right [Bridge] [half-time feel, atmospheric synths] I wanted it I needed it I fucking hate that you know [drum build-up] I'll come back [Chorus] [maximum volume, double-bass drumming] Give me what I want, then take it away I fucking crave you every damn day You keep me starving with one more taste I reach for your body and come up with nothing but space [Outro] [melodic singing over heavy riffs] Maybe I don't want the prize Maybe I just want the chase Maybe every time you leave You leave your fingerprints on my brain So keep me hungry, keep me sick Keep me reaching for the fucking impossible [final guitar chug, sudden silence]
