Acting As Your Slave

Acting As Your Slave - The Verve Pipe

Written by：Vander Ark

My hand asleep for hours

Waiting for the needles to begin

I have no control

They proceed to penetrate my skin

Acting as your slave

I drink for amber waves

I never have embraced

Acting as your slave

I drink an open grave

An epitaph defaced

Killing with compassion

She hasn't heard

A word that I have said

Swallowing your passion

I can see

A thousand miles ahead

Acting as your slave

I drink for barricades

That I have often raised

Acting as your slave

I numb my head and rave

Of epitaphs defaced

Acting as your slave

I drink while she forgave

With trials left unfaced

Acting as your slave

I stumble to her grave

An epitaph defaced
