[English]

I'm so bored of the same routine

Get up, wake up, work out, clean

Fill up on supplements, natural medicines

Open, swallow, wash it down again

Scrub my teeth and pretty my face

Sweat, blush, powder, erase

Wipe my tears on my mini skirt lace

Undress me, I'm messy, I cannot be tamed

So shame me, shame me, shame me

The day it falls off

And don't be fucking hasty

Fill up my cup

Reality seeps into my dreams

Oh I just can't escape this thing

I want more

Chaos, money, fame

I want more

Leather, attention, chains

I need more

Scars, blowouts, shame

I need more

So let me have my way

Calm me down when the panic kicks in

Comfort, damage, vertigo spins

Heavy on my mind like my past sins

Nostalgia, sickness, turn up, pretend

Take a day off and quiet that noise

Orders, rules, love you's, goodbyes

Find a dark room to let out my cries

Security just ain't for me if it runs dry

So shame me, shame me, shame me

The day it falls off

And don't be fucking hasty

Fill up my cup

Reality seeps into my dreams

Oh I just can't escape this thing

I want more

Chaos, money, fame

I want more

Leather, attention, chains

I need more

Scars, blowouts, shame

I need more

So let me have my way

I am the pretender

All rage, no surrender

Love is not the answer

I want more

I need more

I ain't no happy ending

Mixed messages

Pending

I stole your heart to break it

I want more

I need more

...

I want more

Chaos, money, fame

I want more

Leather, attention, chains

I need more

Scars, blowouts, shame

I need more

So let me have my way

...
