Knees weak and crumbling, thumb pressed and bitten away

To my brother, sister, and, the rest, I'll see you around

My soul is blackening, I'm breaking all of it down (yeah)

Measure out the size of it, sure, any pattern will do

Ends justify the seams, it's all the same to you

I cried "Why can't I just be loved?" to no one

Maybe grinding my old scissors I could slice the look off my face

Send me a sign, some god on high, show me the words I need to know

So say I'm fine and clear my mind 'cause why not, I don't know

Facing a new day with a new pain, rocking up and down the night

Ripping at seams, I beg and plead, just sew me up again

To the world I say goodbye, and sir I'm wishing you well

Pushing out my chest to see me drool through tiresome hell

What do I spy with fully open eyes? All that I spy are idiots and lies! (x2)

Aah, can never get enough of the right stuff

Needles oversized to pulverize this heart beating out of my chest

Send me a sign, some god on high, show me the words I need to know

So say I'm fine and clear my mind 'cause why not, I don't know

Facing a new day with a new pain, rocking up and down the night

Ripping at seams, I beg and plead, just sew me up again

There's nothing to find, no nothing to find, I severed everything I had

Sinking alive through waves of twine, dragging me down alone

I'm nowhere to find, no, nowhere to find, threw me aside and left again

Running away from now a place I'll never call a home

Am I alive?

Aah, shut up! More lies falling out this living mask

Give me an endgame, skip the foreplay before I explode

Can I ever change? Can I stay the same? Fade away?

But save who I am inside!

Ripping at seams, I pull the string to finally meet the end

Days at end, the flames alit with life are starting to loom

Patch it up without me then, 'cause anybody will do
