Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run, but it stays right by my side

   So tear me open, pour me out
   There's things inside that scream and shout
   And the pain still hates me
   So hold me until it sleeps

Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays

   So tear me open but beware
   There's things inside without a care
   And the dirt still stains me
   So wash me until I'm clean

            It grips you, so hold me
            It stains you, so hold me
            It hates you, so hold me
            It holds you, so hold me
            Until it sleeps

So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it

   I'll tear me open, make you gone
   No more can you hurt anyone
   And the fear still shakes me
   So hold me until it sleeps

            It grips you, so hold me
            It stains you, so hold me
            It hates you, so hold me
            It holds you, holds you, holds you
            Until it sleeps

I don't want it

So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me... till clean

   I'll tear me open, make you gone
   No longer will you hurt anyone
   And the hate still shapes me
   So hold me until it sleeps
   Until it sleeps
