my lyricsbox
The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head
I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before

I'll take the firmest path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique

I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy but can't put on my clothes
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before
I don't want to be held in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
I'll end up alone like I began

Everything has chains...
Absolutely nothing's changed...
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free... (2x)
Can't be what you want because I'm...

Why ain't it's'posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I'll be damned
All alone like I began...

It's your move now...
I thought you were a friend,
but I guess I, I guess I hate you...
