Satisfied

Appears on A

"Sing to me, sing to me," he said 
"Love me like we're already dead 
And I'll sing to you and you'll fall under my spell 
And grab my hand as we dance into hell.” 

“Forget the things you thought you knew 
‘Cause I’m selling you the news. 
So why don’t you…” 

“…Smother me in compliments 
I’ll feed you all my empty platitudes 
Show me some love and I’ll be your Baal 
I want to whisper dirty rumors 
I want to make sure half of them are true 
‘Cause I’m gonna be satisfied by nothing at all.” 

“Keep my face in the center of the frame 
I need to feel that you still know my name 
Then heed my call and there’s none for you to fear 
Just know that ‘yes’ is the only word I hear.” 

“My heart is nothing but a void 
Consuming all your joy 
Oh boy.” 

“Who don’t you smother me in compliments 
I’ll feed you all my empty platitudes  
Show me some love and I’ll be your Baal 
I want to whisper dirty rumors 
I want to make sure half of them are true 
‘Cause I’m gonna be satisfied by nothing at all.” 

“They say the mirror holds the truth 
But that’s nothing I can use 
So why don’t you…” 

“…Smother me in compliments 
I’ll feed you all my empty platitudes  
Show me some love and I’ll be your Baal 
I want to whisper dirty rumors 
I want to make sure half of them are true 
‘Cause I’m gonna be satisfied by nothing at all 
I’m gonna be satisfied by nothing at all 
I’m gonna be satisfied by nothing at all.”
