Wish I was too dead to cry
The self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me **** to digest

I wish I had a reason
My flaws are open seasoned
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shelf forgotten with its memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother
I don't need to be
(I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
(I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
(Once I hold on)
I'll never live down my deceits
