The New Flesh

If i should fall down would you wait for me?
If i was out would you be home?
If i should pray then would you pray with me?
If i fell in love would i be in love alone?
This isn't half of what i thought it'd be
At what point does love become routine?
I had to wait, i had to wait, i had to wait to see
That who you are is not who i hoped it'd be
Now i don't know where to go
I don't know if this thing's still working
My heart's not beating anymore
And i don't know if i bleed
Test it out just to see
Cause the best that i can hope to be
Is strong enough to leave
I never lived and died by ecstasy
Fun's never been my cup of tea
But now i try, but now i try, but now i try to be
The best i can for no one else but me
Now i don't know where to go
I don't know if this thing's still working
My heart's not beating anymore
And i don't know if i bleed
Test it out just to see
Cause the best that i can hope to be
Is strong enough to leave
You're such a shame love
What'd those animals say to ya?
You're such a shame love
What'd those animals say to ya?
You're such a shame love
What'd those animals say to ya?
What'd they do when they came for ya?
Did you think it through?
You never learn what not to do.
You're such a shame love
What those animals say to ya?
What'd they do when they came for ya?
Did you think it through?
You never learn what not to do.
A shame love.
You're such a shame love.
A shame love.
And i don't know where to go
I don't know if this thing's still working
My heart's not beating anymore
I don't know if i bleed
Test it out just to see
Is this the best that i can hope to be?
Don't know where to go
Don't know if this thing's still working
My heart's not beating anymore
Don't know if i bleed
Don't know if this thing's still working
The best that i can hope to be
Is strong enough to leave
