lyrics

v1:
The torture in your smiling eyes
You drag me through the mud, then you tell me that you love me
Your sick desire for my blood, your fancy words that cut
all because I "never tried".

There's always fear in the way you look tonight
There's beauty in the pointless tears you cry
I know you live to scream the way you live to breathe
so you can tear out all my life

Chorus:
An enemy would have let me die.
Your love to hate keeps me alive.
I'm way past the lies.
If you can't see that I hate you, you must be blind.
You walk on next to me hiding the man beneath
that's tried to kill me all this time.
I'm too tired to try
You need to stand up and end me
Just stand up and kill me
and pick my bones dry

v2:
The clever way you lay the blame
to make me feel your shame
then you tell me you forgive me
The only way you'll play is if you win the game
and drive me insane

There's always more in the words you choose to wield.
The jagged slice through the scabs that never healed.
And so I go to a darker place,
find a cozy spot inside my cage.
And swallow all my rage.

br.
I'll scream the way you think I should.
I'll deal with all your trials.
I'll be the selfless little doll.
that you can use to hide.
I'll force the laughter and the smile.
Pretend that all is fine.
I'll be the selfless little doll.
So you can feel alive.
