Turn It and Twist

I concede

That I had no reason

To bite your hand

But I couldn't stand

Any more of your charity

Your sweet sincerity

Burned on the way down

I coughed and choked

On all of the smoke

That formed in my lungs

Your sympathy stung

Like a slap to the face

I collapsed in disgrace

And saw you claim the high ground

Are you gonna keep heaping coals on my head

Hoping that the heat takes its toll in the end?

And I can never tell if it's worth your while

But I'll take it in the neck

Is it over yet?

I'm just gonna sweat this out

If you don't mind

Could I have some time

To just lick my wounds?

Don't show me yours too

Hide the hands that were feeding me

Bandaged and bleeding

We said we should move on

You have the edge

We should go to bed

But you can't resist

You turn it and twist

Can I ask for one courtesy?

Leave the last word for me

Don't make me learn to be wrong

Are you gonna keep heaping coals on my head

Hoping that the heat takes its toll in the end?

And I can never tell if it's worth your while

But I'll take it in the neck

Is it over yet?

I'm just gonna sweat this out

If you leave before

I wake up in the morning

I'll see you in hell by tonight

Blistered and burning

And twisting and turning

All your words 'til I'm sure that I'm right

Are you gonna keep heaping coals on my head

Hoping that the heat takes its toll in the end?

And I can never tell if it's worth your while

But I'll take it in the neck

Is it over yet?

I'm just gonna sweat this out

Are you gonna keep heaping coals on my head

Hoping that the heat takes its toll in the end?

And I can never tell if it's worth your while

But I'll take it in the neck

Is it over yet?

I'm just gonna sweat this out

Are you gonna keep heaping coals on my head

Hoping that the heat takes its toll in the end?

Blistered and burning

And twisting and turning

All your words 'til I'm sure that I'm right

And even if I'm wrong

Well, I still have my pride
