Now It's Time to Say Goodbye

All the stones inside my head

Were carefully removed

By the doctor's perfumed scarlet hands

She delved in deep for your savage teeth

That sparkled diamonds fire blue

Eating me and thrilling you

The voices have now gone

I'm looking forward to living alone

Now it's time to say goodbye

I won't stay around to be hurt by careless words

So here's the jar of your hate

Returned complete, sincerely yours, fully restored

But peace perfect peace

Could belong to me I'd bottle it

For love's like the sea

They're hungry gods with careless hands

That wrap themselves around our lives

So hard to resist

They swallowed me, you swallowed me

I closed my eyes, I disappeared

Now it's time to say goodbye

I won't stay around to be hurt by careless words

No, I suppose it's colder when you're dead

Your violent gift, I bottled it

Now it's gone, I'm in bloom

Give me strength give me hope

Give me no-one new to hold

If I saw you lately what would I say?

Give me peace please walk away

You have nothing new to say

If I saw you falling how wide could I smile?
