Sickness spilling through your eyes, Craving everything that you thought was alive Stab me in my heart again Drag me through you wasted life Are you forever dead? Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me, keep away from me Twistin' everything around that you say Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day Rag me, I don't hear you anymore, Not yet, find out what it means to me I don't know who you are Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me, keep away from me Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me Dragging on so lonely, aren't you tired baby Breathing life into your lungs, Are you immune to me Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me, keep away from me Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me Keep away from me Never misunderstand me Never misunderstand me Never misunderstand me
