lyrics

Open me up and look inside
See the dark I cannot hide
I may be a killer in the sun
But there’s a way these things are done

If you take away my bride
Then you take away my pride
I will close and lock the door
I won’t fight in your goddamn war

I’ve got grief as deep
As these graceless days are long
But each night when I lay down to sleep
I know right from wrong

Maybe I should strike you down
Cut out your heart without a sound
Leave your shell for the world to see
What happens when you violate me

But something holds me back
A hand keeps me from attack
If you make me a lion with no roar
I won’t fight in your goddamn war

I’ve got grief as deep
As these graceless days are long
But each night when I lay down to sleep
I know right from wrong
