lyrics

I wanna face this sullen world
With gritted teeth and smiling eyes
To find the wall where the dead can scrawl
The fitted grief that plagued their lives
To find my name amongst the blamed
And constant strange
And read the laundry list of my complaints

Lord, help me now
I'm coming down
Am I coming around?
Cuz I've been broken before,
Am I broken now?

No, I'm not yours anymore
No, I'm not yours anymore
You're mine

With the last bit of coal in the furnace now,
The engine sputters around the bend
To meet your wall with the fetid tunnel
And a look that says I'm your only friend
I wanna wear astronaut white
And pastel war paint
And speak of a life to which
I can't relate

In all this smoke
I'll leave a hope
Just beyond your reach
In all this human we share,
That some was me

No, I'm not yours anymore
No, I'm not yours anymore

I.
Oh, you think you know
More than you've been shown
You don't know where I've been
Where do I begin
The tale of constant gnashing jaws?
They took my pride,
Bloodied my tide
Just wait til you see my claws
Creep down the walls
Like shadows fall around you
Wait til I dress you down
In front of your friends
In front of your kin
Your eyes screaming...

II.
Poor, sweet beasty
Come in from the rain
Let me clean you
And give you a name
All these scratches,
How did you survive?
Oh, my darling,
Not so tight.
Is that my blood
On the ground?
Filthy creature,
I should have
Known to put you down

No, I'm not yours anymore
You're mine
