Lyrics
Why would you run when we're just having fun?
Why is it that you would treat me this way?
I'm not what you choose, I'm the devil you're clinging to
The eye of the storm and you can't get away
Truth is what I say
Hush now it's okay
You have to learn your place
I'll teach you to obey
[Pre-Chorus]
Your tears are falling down like stone
Jagged cries and broken bones
[Chorus]
Left behind, cauterize
Something beautiful, something divine
Hypnotize, sterilize
Innocence dies as I blacken her eyes
Where can you go when this is all that you know?
I still can't believe you would treat me this way
I know I'm rough but I strike you with love
Driven to madness, I won't let you escape
Do just as I say
Climb into your grave
Now you know your place
Forever you will stay
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Crawl down inside yourself
There's nowhere you can go for help
Reach out and crack the shell
I have you to myself
You're all mine and you can't run
All you know
I'm your god and I'm not done
Made of stone
Clench your fists as if you'd won
I'm looking down
The barrel of a loaded gun
You're not who I thought you'd be
Stronger than you ought to be
My blood is flowing, hit the floor
I'm fading out, I hear no more
[Chorus 2]
Left behind, cauterize
Something horrible, something despised
Sterilize, euthanize
Innocence flies as I'm closing my eyes
