[Verse 1]
There's two arms you could break
How low can you descend?
Approach the subject kindly
You've chosen to defend
Those tears are not for real
They're falling on command
A harsh decision maybe
You're living on remand

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Your mind is thinking madness
Much more you could not take
Before you fall on bad days
And lower your defence as always

[Chorus]
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness

[Verse 2]
My stomach tends to fold
When I speak of your name
Accept that you're regretful
Accept that you're not safe

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Your life is contradiction
A life that's bruised and torn
I've chosen toleration
You've chosen to dismiss as always
[Chorus 2]
Suddenly demanding, the truth is always worse when you are sober

[Instrumental interlude]

[Chorus/Outro]
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
This sadness is my own
