Well I can't stand to look at you now This revelation's out of my hands Still I can't bear the thought of you now This complication's leaving me scared Stay when you think you want me Pray when you need advice Hey keep your sickness off me tryin to get through Blame all your weakness on me Shame that I'm so contrite Hey keep your fingers off me, why can't I get through? You think you have the best of intentions I cannot shake the taste of blood in my mouth (Hey) I keep on thinking that it's (Hey) all done and all over now (whoa) You keep on thinking you can save me, save me (Hey) My ship is sinking but it's (Hey) All good and I can go down (whoa) You've got me thinking that the party's all over Well I can't stand to be with myself This liberation's seemingly rare And I can't stand the taste of your mouth This sublimation's out of my hands You stay 'cause you think you want me Pray when you need advice Hey keep your sickness off me I'm tryin to get through Shame you cant take this from me Bane on the empty mind Hey keep your fingers off me, why can't I get through?
