Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I caterYou don't need to bother, I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go til it bleedsWish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason, my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dyingYou don't need to bother, I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go til it bleedsWish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with its memories
Diaries left with cryptic entriesAnd you don't need to bother, I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go til it bleedsYou don't need to bother, I don't need to be
I'll keep on slipping farther
But once I hold on
I'll never live down my deceit
