Forget the letter, just sleep sound tonight
Pull back the covers without a fight
But as we dance by emergency lightI fail to swallow my tongue
And I'm still here bleeding
So pull this switch and see my body twitchOh, as we dance on this memory
A light left blinking on it's own
And my blood is flowingDown through this machine
In hope and desire
In hope I expireTurn off this machine
'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive
Turn off this machine
'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me aliveSo pull this switch and see my body twitch
Oh, as we dance on this memory
Despair has devoured me wholeA seed won't grow from this soul
This pull won't cure my disease
Can't you kill this bleeding heart?Turn off this machine
'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive
Turn off this machine
'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alivePlease nurse, my batteries are running low
Please nurse, oh, oh, I think I'm running lowLeft here swallowed by this fear
That you will always keep me here
To close your eyes and pray for this to go away'Cuz I'm not angry, tired or sore
More of a man than I was before
Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?I plead, forgive me
'Cuz I'm no martyr
Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?I plead, forgive me
'Cuz I'm no martyr
Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?'Cuz I'm not angry, tired or sore
More of a man than I was before
Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?I plead, forgive me
'Cuz I'm no martyr
You're not the 'cause I'm looking forI plead, forgive me
'Cuz I'm no martyr
And you're not the 'cause I'm looking for
