Forget the letters 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

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

Turn off this machine

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



So pull this switch and see my body twitch

As we dance on this memory

Despair has devoured me whole

A seed wont grow from this soul

This pill wont cure my disease

Can't you kill this beating heart







Please nurse my batteries are running low

Please nurse 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



Cause 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

Cause I'm no martyr

Is this the cause that I'm looking for? 





Cause I'm not angry, tired or sore

More of a man than I was before

Is this the cause that I'm looking for? 





I plead forgive me

Cause I'm no martyr

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