I'm closing up, I'm shutting down, I took a vow of silence.
|
You won't hear me from now on, you'll only see the violence.
|
|
I put some water into a pot and brought it to a boil.
|
I poured it on my arm without any reflex of recoil.
|
I made sure it'd miss my hand,
|
'Cause I need it to play in a band.
|
I thought I would scream,
|
But I didn't feel a thing.
|
|
Then I took some ice and the sharpest knife, and brought 'em to my room.
|
I sat there thinking of you and what I ought to do.
|
Then I picked a spot and numbed it up, 'cause carving can take some time,
|
Then I dug your name out of my skin, 'cause in my head, you're in my...mind
|
...mind.
|
|
Wo! I realized with some urgency, that all this is child's play.
|
I need to learn to speak in a more effective way.
|
But just what is the desired effect and why have I been stalling?
|
I want you to feel it, watch me now, I'm calling.
|
|
Over at the hospital, they will dress my wounds,
|
But they won't really heal, until they're touched by you.
|
|
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.
|
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.
