Forget the letter 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 Oh 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 'Cause this is the only thing that's keeping me alive Turn off this machine 'Cause this is the only thing that's keeping me alive So pull this switch and see my body twitch Oh as we dance on this memory Despair has devoured me whole A seed won't grow from this soul This pull won't cure my disease Can't you k** this bleeding heart Turn off this machine 'Cause this is the only thing that's keeping me alive Turn off this machine 'Cause this is the only thing that's keeping me alive Please nurse, my batteries are running low Please nurse, oh... Oh I think I'm running low Left here swallowed by this fear That you will always keep me here So close your eyes and pray for this to go away 'Cause 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 'Cause I'm no martyr Is this the cause I'm looking for? I plead forgive me 'Cause I'm no martyr Is this the cause I'm looking for? 'Cause I'm not angry, tired or sore More of a man than I was before Is this the cause I'm looking for? 'Cause I'm not angry, tired or sore More of a man than I was before Is this the cause I'm looking for? (Repeat until fade out) I plead forgive me 'Cause I'm no martyr You're not the cause I'm looking for
