Don't be alarmed

I don't want your love
when lust is all i really need
to fill this void.

Inside of me 
my heart beats but
its longing for something
more.

Theres a broken doll,
with broken needs, and 
she's beging to be close 
as close as a friend 
I'll still pretend that
it's you I'm choking

so don't, don't be alarmed,
don't make a sound
when you find me feeding

Cause I don't have the time
to try to explain why your 
heart keeps breaking 
so, let's just pretend
 that we can be friends
and that I'm not out here dying
for the things you believe
your hearts on my sleeve
I'm just out here dying

So don't be alarmed,
don't make a sound
 I'm just out here dying
