somewhere between my tongue and cheek
i can feel the hands on me
pulls me in so we are face to face
i don't wanna see it...i don't wanna see
hold my head up, can't avert my eyes
spots and rats on me, i don't wanna see
claw the ground up, get me out of this
never wanted this - never needed this!

and you left me / and i left you
and you left me / and i left you, too

chair is stained and i can't stay awake
bring forth evidence to keep me sane
i can't keep this riddle locked inside
seven ways to keep my secrets tied

can't believe this, i belong in chains
separated, it was me and something else
now i'm numbing, get me out of this
never wanted this - never needed this!

and you left me / and i left you
and you left me / oh, but then i left you and:
and you left me / and i left you
and you left me / and i left you, too

[solo: jim]

arms stretched out, giving thanks to pain
spotlight looking down, i'm ashamed
kneeling with my forehead to the ground
i can't help but flinch before i'm found

i don't need you! can't you see behind?
doesn't matter now - doesn't matter anymore!
maybe made me, get me out of this
never wanted this - never needed this!

and you left me / and i left you
and you left me / and motherfucker, then i left you and...
and you left me / and i left you
and you left me / and i left you, too

safe! i just want to be safe!
safe! i just - want to - be safe!
safe! don't you want to be safe?
safe! why can't you let me be - safe?
