Lyrics

[Intro]
Kill me!

[Verse 1]
(Tattered & torn) Something aches
(Tattered & torn) Bad things slither
(Tattered & torn) My floors are burning down
(Tattered & torn) And I can't find a window

[Verse 2]
(Tattered & torn) This is medieval
(Tattered & torn) This is cerebral
(Tattered & torn) Suffocated
(Tattered & torn) Melodramatic

[Verse 3]
(Tattered & torn) Driven to the verge of
(Tattered & torn) I make you my enemy
(Tattered & torn) The nerves you sever
(Tattered & torn) Can serve you better

[Verse 4]
(Tattered & torn) In the blink of an eye
(Tattered & torn) In the space of a second
(Tattered & torn) Open my wrists
(Tattered & torn) Give me my lessons

[Outro]
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me…

Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt
