Sheltered in your quiet youth
How much could you know?
I will tell you what to say
You'll listen now and you'll obey

Wide awake at precocious hours
Topple from atop your towers
Are you feeling weak?
I've given you no chance to speak

I cannot touch you, it's not time
To bask in your illusions
My foundation is too weak
For you to build your towers on me
Breathe in deep, give me desire
Loving is not in my nature
Give me all your youth
No fighting over what is true

Calloused skin, hard as diamonds
How much do you feel?
Ivory fangs locked away
Lock your heart to use one day

All that we know is our skin
We've not accomplished more
We're all alone in the abyss
Get on your knees and off the floor

I cannot touch you, it's not time
To bask in your illusions
My foundation is too weak
For you to build your towers on me
Breathe in deep, give me desire
Loving is not in my nature
Give me all your youth
No fighting over what is true

Give me all your youth
No fighting over what is true
