Forget the letters just sleep sound tonight Pull back the covers without a fight But as we dance by emergency light I fail to swallow my tongue And I'm still here bleeding So pull this switch and see my body twitch As we dance on this memory A light left blinking on it's own And my blood is flowing down Through this machine In hope and desire in hope I expire
Turn off this machine 'Cos this is the only thing that's keeping me alive (X2)
So pull this switch and see my body twitch As we dance on this memory Despair has devoured me whole A seed wont grow from this soul This pull wont cure my disease Cant you kill this beating heart
Turn off this machine 'Cos this is the only thing that's keeping me alive (X2)
Please nurse my batteries are running low Please nurse oh I think I'm running low Left here swallowed by this fear That you will always keep me hear So close your eyes and pray for this to go away
'Cos I'm not angry, tired or sore More of a man than I was before Is this the cause I'm looking for I plead forgive me 'Cos I'm no martyr Is this the cause I'm looking for 'Cos I'm not angry, tired or sore More of a man than I was before Is this the cause I'm looking for
I plead forgive me 'Cos I'm no martyr You're not the cause I'm looking for (x3)
