  • Feed on me
    You know I’m never far
    Feed off me
    Like a vulture on a deer hit by a car
    I can only do so much
    And of course it’s never enough
    I don’t think that you see
    Exactly what you’re doing to me

    Don’t speak
    Don’t speak

    Give me a reason to turn and run
    Give me a reason to burn this house down
    Give me a reason I wish you would
    I wish you would
    Wish you would

    Give me a reason for disaster
    And I’ll be happy ever after
    Give me a reason I wish you would
    I wish you would
    Wish you would

    So you try your best
    To get out of this mess
    But that’s just a joke
    You’ve never awoke
    To the sound of a mother screaming at night

    Don’t speak
    Don’t speak

    Give me a reason to turn and run
    Give me a reason to burn this house down
    Give me a reason I wish you would
    I wish you would
    Wish you would

    Give me a reason for disaster
    And I’ll be happy ever after
    Give me a reason I wish you would
    I wish you would
    Wish you would

    I wish you would
    Wish you would
    Wish you would
    Wish you would
    Wish you would

    Give me a reason to turn and run
    Give me a reason to burn this house down
    Give me a reason I wish you would
    I wish you would
    Wish you would

    Give me a reason for disaster
    And I’ll be happy ever after
    Give me a reason I wish you would
    I wish you would
    Wish you would Writer/s: ADAM GONTIER, BARRY STOCK, BRAD WALST, DON GILMORE, NEIL SANDERSON
