It's a lesson in progress
How far away can we go?
Everything is progress
As far away as I knowTake a life and make it something less
Please, anything more than stupid tests
And tests and tests and tests and tests
They've found the answer to my selfishnessCry, cry, cry
Hear them singPlease, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us
Forever shut upPlease, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using usIt's an acceptable practice
And I am loathe to say
Snuffed out the wicks from a sea of candles
Maybe Jesus would take it awayPlease, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us
Forever shut upPlease, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using usThe carousel comes round again
I cry and scream but I pretend
They're running down and I can't chase
Or put that smile out of place, yeah
Say, it isn't so, ohCome, they come to take them all away
But I'm not going home
Come, they come to take my soul away
But I'm not going homeCry, cry, cry
Hear them singPlease, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us
Forever shut upPlease, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us, yeah, yeahPlease, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us
Forever shut upPlease, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us
