Lyrics
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds
Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason
My flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with it's memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries and
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
(I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be yeah!
(I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on (Once I hold on)
I'll never live down my deceit
