Forget the letter just sleep sound tonight

Pull back the covers without a fight

But as we dance by emergency light

I fail to swallow my tongue

And I'm still here bleeding



So pull this switch and see my body twitch

Oh as we dance on this memory

A light left blinking on it's own

And my blood is flowing

Down through this machine

In hope and desire 

In Hope I expire



Turn off this machine

Cuz this is the only thing thats keeping me alive

Turn off this machine

Cuz this is the only thing thats keeping me alive



So pull this switch and see my body twitch

Oh as we dance on this memory

Despair has devoured me whole

A seed wont grow from this soul

This pull wont cure my disease

Cant you kill this bleeding heart



Turn off this machine

Cuz this is the only thing thats keeping me alive

Turn off this machine

Cuz this is the only thing thats keeping me alive



Please nurse, my batteries are running low

Please nurse, oh..oh I think I'm running low



Left here swallowed by this fear

That you will always keep me here

To close your eyes and pray for this to go away

Cu I'm not angry, tired or sore

More of a man than I was before

Is this the cause I'm looking for?



I plead forgive me

Cuz I'm no martyr

Is this the cause I'm looking for?

I plead forgive me

Cuz I'm no martyr

Is this the cause I'm looking for?



Cuz I'm not angry, tired or sore

More of a man than I was before

Is this the cause I'm looking for?



I plead forgive me

Cuz I'm no martyr

You're not the cause I'm looking for
