Forget the letter, just sleep sound tonight


Pull back the covers without a fight

But as we dance by emergency light





I fail to swallow my tongue

And I'm still here bleeding


So pull this switch and see my body twitch




Oh, as we dance on this memory


A light left blinking on it's own


And my blood is flowing




Down through this machine


In hope and desire

In hope I expire





Turn off this machine

'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive


Turn off this machine


'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive




So pull this switch and see my body twitch


Oh, as we dance on this memory

Despair has devoured me whole





A seed won't grow from this soul

This pull won't cure my disease


Can't you kill this bleeding heart?




Turn off this machine


'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive


Turn off this machine

'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive





Please nurse, my batteries are running low

Please nurse, oh, oh, I think I'm running low





Left here swallowed by this fear

That you will always keep me here

To close your eyes and pray for this to go away




'Cuz I'm not angry, tired or sore


More of a man than I was before

Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?




I plead, forgive me

'Cuz I'm no martyr


Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?



I plead, forgive me


'Cuz I'm no martyr

Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?



'Cuz I'm not angry, tired or sore


More of a man than I was before

Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?




I plead, forgive me

'Cuz I'm no martyr

You're not the 'cause I'm looking for




I plead, forgive me

'Cuz I'm no martyr

And you're not the 'cause I'm looking for
