[Verse 1]
I need a new addiction
Something to waste my time
I need a new prescription
Just to ease my troubled mind
I need a new distraction
Someone to glorify
A chemical reaction
A dopamine supply
[Chorus]
I only want it if it hurts me
Wanna fly so close to the sun that it burns me
I’m not begging you for mercy
Can’t dig your own grave and complain that it’s dirty
I only want it if it hurts me
Wanna fly so close to the sun that it burns me
I’m not begging you for mercy
Can’t dig your own grave and complain that it’s dirty
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da
Da-da, da-da
Dig your own grave
Da-da
Da-da, da-da
Dig your own grave
[Verse 2]
I need a new obsession
To lose myself within
To add to my collection
Of the people I have been
A fatal new attraction
A game that I can’t win
Can’t gеt no satisfaction
Unless it’s mortal sin
[Chorus]
I only want it if it hurts me
Wanna fly so close to thе sun that it burns me
I’m not begging you for mercy
Can’t dig your own grave and complain that it’s dirty
I only want it if it hurts me
Wanna fly so close to the sun that it burns me
I’m not begging you for mercy
Can’t dig your own grave and complain that it’s dirty
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da
Da-da, da-da
Dig your own grave
Da-da
Da-da, da-da
[Bridge]
If I get too high it’ll melt my wings off
If I’m too low I’ll fall like a raindrop
Right back in to the deep blue sea
I’m my own worst enemy
I shoot myself in the foot for a thrill
To the brink of death without getting killed
Dancing on a tightrope just to get a rush
‘Cause standing still’s not good enough
[Chorus]
I only want it if it hurts me
Wanna fly so close to the sun that it burns me
I’m not begging you for mercy
Can’t dig your own grave and complain that it’s dirty
I only want it if it hurts me
Wanna fly so close to the sun that it burns me
I’m not begging you for mercy
Can’t dig your own grave and complain that it’s dirty
I only want it if it hurts me (Da-da)
Wanna fly so close to the sun that it burns me (Da-da, da-da)
I’m not begging you for mercy (Da-da)
Can’t dig your own grave and complain that it’s dirt (Da-da, da-da)
