[soft instrumental, 15 seconds, building]
[Soft, shaky, quiet, raw vocals]
My skin is soft,
My arms are open...
My hands are tied, and my lips are swollen
I need you now,
But time feels frozen
(Aaaaaaaaahhhh)
[HARD INSTRUMENTAL, 11 seconds]
[Sharp, hard, louder vocals]
life tears me down,
You shut me out,
I hate the sound..
Of all the silence
(I'd rather be fightingggggg)
[Soft instrumental, 7 seconds]
[Strained, slightly softer vocals]
If you have to be mean..
Be mean to meeee
I can take it, I swear
As long as you're here...
As long as you're here
(As long as you're hereeeeeee)
[HARD INSTRUMENTAL, 11 seconds]
[Hard, sharp, dangerous vocals]
Rip out my heart
Watch while I bleed
Tear me apart
Just come back to me
Cut me to pieces...
your words, a jagged edge, I'm barely breathing
But I like the sting so just let me be
Yeah, just let me be
[Soft instrumental]
[Softer, strained, emotional vocals]
It's not for you to say
How much I can take
Don't push me away
You can't keep me safe
I'll be right here,
Just take my hand
Promise, my dear, and just love me as I am...
