Lyrics
Torture
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.
I'm in the room without a light
The room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night
Another night with you
It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams
And pulls some more
Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
I'm helpless again
My body is cut and broken
It's shattered and sore
My body is cut wide open
I can't stand anymore
It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams
And screams for more
Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
Oh, it's torture
And I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there
