Twist

Well, you've got me working so hard lately
Working my hands until they bleed
If I was twice the man I could be
I'd still be half of what you need
Still you lead me and I follow
The small of your back until your chin
Over to the tip of your switchblade
As you pull it out and you stick it in
*Chorus:
It can go a little deeper
I'm wearing these chains
You make it hurt real good
I love the pain
Well you just leave nailed here
Hanging like Jesus on this cross
I'm just dying for your sins
And aiding to the cause
*Chorus
Wrap my soul in bandages
I'm tired of this war
Go ahead and cut me
I can't even feel it anymore
*Chorus
It can go a little deeper
I'm wearing these chains
Make it hurt, make it hurt
I love the pain
