You Wanted Blood

I try to find my voice

I keep choking on the things I need to say

I try to shoot, but the safety's on

I've been fighting the wrong war anyway

Baby, don't start holding back

I don't think that I can be alone (alone)

Fool me once, and I'll stay dumb

Anything to make this place my home (my home)

Oh, you wanted blood

But now we've bled through

You miss the old me

I miss the real you

I know that twisted look that hides in your eyes

As you lick your lips, bite your tongue, and wait for me to die

More

More

More

Here I am, just taking flak

I'm so sick of changing out my skin (my skin)

This is it, my final stand

Do I fight, or die for you again? (die again)

Cuz there's always something in the way

Never do or die, that's what you need

I've killed for you, I'll kill again

A life beneath your guilt was a life well spent (a life well spent)

Spit out my name (spit out my name)

You don't deserve it, you never did

I gave you all I had (I gave you all I had)

You weren't willing to fight for me

"Even in our sleep

Pain which cannot forget

Falls drop by drop upon the heart

Until in our own despair

Against our will

Comes wisdom through the awful grace of God"

I was dancing the death roll caught between your heavy sheets

I'm poking out my eyes so I can sleep

How many more of these bens til I can breathe?

I see you, even when I'm awake

Holding silence only God knows how to speak

Oh, you wanted blood

But now we've bled through

You miss the old me

I miss the real you

I know that twisted look that hides in your eyes

As you lick your lips, bite your tongue, wait for me to die

Wait for me to die

Wait for me to die

Wait for me to die
