Lyrics - Walk All Over Me

Snakes eyes, mesmerise, get into my skin
Cold hands congratulate, slide the daggers in
Cool smiles, wicked wiles, like a politician's charm
Sly looks, the fishing hooks, the bait that puts it's arm
  Over me, over you
Sweet pills, cure all ills, taken everyday
These props kill me off a thousand different ways
Sanitize, paralyse each and every sense I own
All pain no gain, the shadow has been thrown
  Over me, over you
Just when I'm ready to fall
Standing with my back to the wall
  You can walk all over me
But I'll never submit
You can walk all over me
But this is, this is it
late flowers, summer showers, everything seems right
Behind their blinds everyone takes fright
Conflict, more wounds licked, comfort in a warm embrace
Until addicted chill comes to take it's place
  Over me, over you
Just when I'm ready to fall
Standing with my back to the wall
  You can walk all over me
But I'll never submit, oh no
You can walk all over me
But this is, this is it
  Walk on me, walk on you
Walk on me, walk on you
(Walk on me) Come on and walk on me
(Walk on you) I'm gonna walk on you, yeah
(Walk on me) Gonna walk on me, gonna walk on you
(Walk on you) Gonna walk right in, right over you, yeah
  Just when I'm ready to fall
Standing with my back to the wall
  You can walk all over me
But I'll never submit
You can walk all over me
And this is, this is it
  You can walk all over me
But I'll never give in, no way
You can walk all over me
But you'll never win, oh no
