Please die Ana For as long as you're here we're not You make the sound of laughter And sharpened nails seem softer And I need you now somehow And I need you now somehow Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you Imagine pageant In my head the flesh seems thicker Sandpaper tears corrode the film And I need you now somehow And I need you now somehow Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you And your my obsession I love you to the bones And Ana wrecks your life Like an anorexia life Open fire on the need designed On my knees for you Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you Open fire on my needs designed Oh, and open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you
