-same rhythm as intro-

D#            Ab5   B5
  Fuel emotions, killing me,
D#            Ab5   B5
  Pure devotion, cut and bleed,
D#            Ab5   B5 
  Your the crystal, the ecstasy,
C#                  E5  
 The drug that keeps feeding me,

So come on.
D#               Ab5   B5  
  Torn together we sow the seed,
D#               Ab5   B5 
  Bring the pleasure back for free,
D#               Ab5   B5   
  The world is frozen but,
      C#                   E5 
I can taste new life every time I breathe.

Let's feel a new high kicking in.

D#                Ab5   B5  
  Change the system, break the shape,
D#                Ab5   B5  
  New connection hands to make,

  Find the honey and learn to taste again,
         E5     
Bring it back again,

  Find the pleasure it's yours to keep,
D#                Ab5   B5

But I can taste new life every time I breathe.
