lyrics

I've already rolled up my sleeves,
So don't grow a conscience on me now.
This isn't the time, and you can't just leave.
Don't try to do right when you don't know how.

I promise I won’t put up a fight--
Won't cry out for help or hesitate.
See, I could be lethal at this height,
But I have to become the thing I hate.

It's a face I can wear if I loosen a notch.
I'll try not to stare, but I do want to watch.

There's no other way that this can go.
Surely you know that much by now.
Look me in the eye and tell me no--
That I can survive these wounds somehow.

You don't have to make this quick.
I just want the greed to stick.
You're not my nurse; you're not my guard.
So don't let up, and lock down hard.
I'm already halfway free,
So pour all your grief in me.
I have nothing left to rob--
I have you; finish the job.

I'm poisoning everything I've grown.
I'm wallowing in the peace that brings.
I want you to turn me into stone.
They tell me I won't really feel a thing.
