It takes a beating
To filter it through

It pulls you in
(Place your hiding eyes)
It pulls you in
(Gently into mine)
How many pages will turn
Until the book is burned

It pulls me
(You pull me in)

Maybe I'm just sick
These chemicals have no place left to fucking stick
If you leave me here
Will the dose claw it's way home

(It takes a beating)
You break
But I'm still here
I'd break myself to fix you

No way out
It's pulling me again

I won't
Won't go back

Picture perfect inner workings
Slowly stripped away

Pills of burden
Rest upon me
Scratch these nails to break
