Take this bloody war of mine away

I'm lost for words to say

Will they greet me at dawn

Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls

I'm not ready for the call

That will greet me at dawn

I just take what someone wants

Race when I'm in front

Break what i don't need

It's nice to watch somebody breathe

Yeah, now come sit next to me

I'm not sleeping with a bride to be

And I thank you very much

And I'm flattered by the touch

When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity

No wife and no family

Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very

much

So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe for me

I am tired of my own

Race me to the horror at the end

I've lost myself again

In the mirror of my past

Let me, let me scratch at my own skin

I'm dying to get in

To the mirror of my past

I just take what someone wants

Race when I'm in front

Break what I don't need

It's nice to watch somebody breathe

Yeah, now come sit next to me

I'm not sleeping with a bride to be

And I'll thank you very much

And I'm flattered by the touch

When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity

No wife and no family

Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very

much

So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe for me

I am tired of my own

And won't you breathe for me

I am tired of my own

Yeah, now come sit next to me

I'm not sleeping with a bride to be

Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very

much

So I'm happy for the company

And I sat here for eternity

No Wife and no family

And I'll thank you very much

And I'm flattered by the touch

When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity

No wife and no family

Been wasting time like it just

Doesn't matter very much

So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe for me

I am tired of my own

And won't you breathe for me

I am tired of my own
