Destroy Me

Verse1
Look into my eyes
tell me can you see the hatred
from with inside me
am I goin' blind
when you push me away
and torture me for what I am

Bridge1
And scream
like no one I've ever heard
and you dream
the nightmares that should never
be observed

Verse2
Take me to a land
far away from here
so far away
so maybe they will 
understand
why I am what I am

Bridge2
And you love
like no one I've ever seen
and you're on
in ways I never dreamed

Chorus
Go with me
take me for a ride
don't make me beg you please
all through the night
go with me
let me have you in my arms 
keep on ridin', ridin', ridin'
'til you Destroy Me

Verse3
Your comfort puts my mind at ease
put your hands on my chest
feel my heart beat
as you keep ridin' with me
I wanna see you give your love 

to me

Bridge3
And you give
all you can to me
and you think
of other ways to mess with me
and 
you're never pleased

Repeat Chorus

(solo)

Verse4
Will you Destroy Me
come the mornin' light
will you love me
like you did last night
will you give me all you got to give
will you ever be pleased
with a crazy man like me

Repeat Bridge1,2,3 and Chorus

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm a huge fan of Saliva. As far as I'm concerned, Josey Scott is in a whole other place when it comes to writing songs and singing. He's one of the best. When I wrote "Destroy Me" I thought of Saliva. They changed the game when they came out and people started writing songs like them. For me, they were a breath of fresh air. I'm not putting down grunge or anything, but Saliva brought the good feeling rock 'n' roll back, in my opinion. They pretty much grew up listening to the same bands I grew up on and they are similar to a point, but they have their own edge. "Destroy Me" also came from a place of if this woman loves you one night, will she continue to love you forever? The last verse in this song asks that very question. Are you gonna get up and leave me in the morning after we just made love? Or are you gonna stay with me through thick and thin?
