Until it sleeps

        Where do I take this pain of mine.

        I run but it stays right by my side.



        So tear me open, pour me out 

        There's things inside that scream and shout

        And the pain still hates me 

        So hold me, until it sleeps

        

        Just like a curse, just like a stray

        You feed it once and now it stays

        Now it stays



        So tear me open but beware 

        There's things inside without a care

        And the dirt still stains me 

        So wash me, until I'm clean

        

        It grips you so hold me

        It stains you so hold me 

        It hates you so hold me

        It holds you so hold me

        Until it sleeps

        

        So tell me why you've chosen me

        Don't want your grip, don't want your greed 

        Don't want it



        Now tear me open make you gone 

        No more can you hurt anyone

        And the fear still shakes me 

        So hold me, until it sleeps

        

        It grips you so hold me

        It stains you so hold me

        It hates you so hold me 

        It holds you, holds you, holds you

        Until it sleeps (x3)

        

        I don't want it

        Don't want it, want it, want it, want it, want it... no!



        So tear me open but beware 

        There's things inside without a care

        And the dirt still stains me

        So wash me, till I'm clean

        

        Now tear me open make you gone 

        No longer will you hurt anyone

        And the hate still shapes me

        So hold me, until it sleeps (x5)
