The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Kick it where it hurts
and you kick it hard
what does the future hold for me ?
PAIN
In the world outside
everything's the same
When you look in the mirror
what do you see
SHAME
You play with yourself
then you cry when you start to bleed
you'r better then nothing (some prob. with this line)
you pretend that you don't need
It's hard for you to give
when all you do is, you take - (give/and?) you take
I give you something
a flower at you fucking wake
Chorus I
Born to breathe
and not much else
You'll die for nothing
like everybody else
Chorus II
Born to breathe
nothing is what I am
noone to save me
from myself
I can't see
blind is what I am
swimming for the womb
like everybody else
What's your is your's
and what's mine is also your's
If you had your way
I'll be crawling on the all fours
I give you the finger
but you want the whole hand
the hand that slaps you
and make you understand
Chorus I
Chorus II
Chorus II
