Come away, my love
I don't want you touching everything
Everyone's so clean, everyone but you
I want him standing still
Want him but I know he never will hold him down
And in the yard it's raining down
These bullets of the damned and everyone's explaining
In a voice I'll understand and I know by now
Can I but believe you see the sirens in my eyes?
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna hear I never cared enough to try
Sometimes it's too fucking dark to see the bright light
Right in front of your eyes this is my life
And I don't wanna be another sensitive guy
Not afraid to let you motherfuckers see me cry
'Cause I don't have a thing if I don't have a choice
This is my fight
What's your favorite song?
What if all your memories are wrong?
Do you think you're free? Do you want to be?
Everyone is here
All your friends have come to wish you well
Can't you tell?
I can feel their breathing space
It's sucking up the air
But I cannot feel any feeling
Long enough to care
In another year, no one'll believe me
When I tell 'em that sometimes
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna hear I never cared enough to try
Sometimes it's too fucking dark to see the bright light
Right in front of your eyes this is my life
And I don't wanna be another sensitive guy
Not afraid to let you motherfuckers see me cry
'Cause I don't have a thing if I don't have a choice
This is my fight
But I can feel their breathing space
It's sucking up the air and I cannot feel any feeling
Long enough to care, in another year, no one'll believe me
When I tell 'em that sometimes
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna hear I never cared enough to try
Sometimes it's too fucking dark to see the bright light
Right in front of your eyes this is my life
And I don't wanna be another sensitive guy
Not afraid to let you motherfuckers see me cry
'Cause I don't have a thing if I don't have a choice
This is my fight
