Lyrics
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© 1996 Creeping Death Music (Global Music Rights)
