lay there with the sheets

pulled up over your head

how long do you think you can play dead?



underneath the skin I am, 

pinchin and fingerin 

every nerve, every thought 

do you think you can cut me out 

 

do you think you can 

cut me out 

who you tryin to kid 

let me, tell you 

a little 'bout myself 

i live deeper than 

any blade can get at 

so steady your hand 

you think you can 

then cut me out 

 

i been keepin me a list 

of every wicked thing you did 

scrawled across the walls of my cell 

 

a little me/meat(?) 

a little skin 

a little cage to keep me in 

do you think, 

you can let me go 

 

now do you think you can 

cut me out 

who you tryin to kid 

let me tell you 

a little about myself 

i live deeper than 

any blade can get at 

so steady your hand 

you think you can 

then cut me out 

 

a little me/meat(?) 

a little skin, 

a little cage to keep me in 

 

lay there with the sheets 

pulled up over your head 

how long do you think you can play dead?
