It's a lesson in progress
How far away can we go?
Everything is progress

As far away as I know

Take a life and make it something less

Please, anything more than stupid tests
And tests and tests and tests and tests
They've found the answer to my selfishness


Cry, cry, cry
Hear them sing


Please, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying

Please, stop using us
Forever shut up


Please, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us


It's an acceptable practice
And I am loathe to say

Snuffed out the wicks from a sea of candles
Maybe Jesus would take it away


Please, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us

Forever shut up

Please, stop killing us

You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us


The carousel comes round again
I cry and scream but I pretend
They're running down and I can't chase

Or put that smile out of place, yeah
Say, it isn't so, oh


Come, they come to take them all away
But I'm not going home
Come, they come to take my soul away

But I'm not going home

Cry, cry, cry

Hear them sing

Please, stop killing us

You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us
Forever shut up


Please, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying

Please, stop using us, yeah, yeah

Please, stop killing us

You know we're, oh, so fond of dying
Please, stop using us
Forever shut up


Please, stop killing us
You know we're, oh, so fond of dying

Please, stop using us
