Verse 1:    

Wish I was too dead to cry

My self-affliction fades

Stones to throw at my creator

Masochists to which I cater





Chorus:

You don't need to bother;

I don't need to be 

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on,

I won't let go 'til it bleeds





Verse 2:

Wish I was too dead to care

If indeed I cared at all

Never had a voice to protest

So you fed me shit to digest

I wish I had a reason;

my flaws are open season

For this, I gave up trying

One good turn deserves my dying





Chorus:

You don't need to bother;

I don't need to be

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on,

I won't let go 'til it bleeds





Verse 3:

Wish I'd died instead of lived

A zombie hides my face

Shell forgotten

with its memories

Diaries left

with cryptic entries





Chorus: (Changed)

And you don't need to bother;

I don't need to be

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on,

I won't let go 'til it bleeds



Last Chorus: (Changed)

You don't need to bother

I don't need to be

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on

I'll never live down my deceit
