I am a broken bell, a quiet hell, a dried-up well that holds no tears (You're drowning in yourself) I kiss the fist, I twist the wrist, the surgeon carving his own fears (You never held the knife) I drink the salt, I praise the fault, the heavy vault I cannot close You are the saving grace, the toxic face, the twisted thorn upon the rose I pay the fee to lose the key, a refugee who begs the cell I ring the chime, I serve the time, I am the architect of hell! (You only built a lie) I love the bite, I fight the light, a paper kite that tears apart (You never flew at all) I am a parachute of stone, a broken bone without a heart! You are the ambulance that runs me down, the jagged crown I proudly wear I dig the hole, I crush the soul, I love the suffocation there! (You jump before you're pushed) I hug the blade, a deadly trade, the ransom paid to keep the pain! (There is no blade!) I crave the crash, the burning ash, the heavy lash, the acid rain! (It's only water!) I love you madly, bleeding badly, gladly smiling as I fall! I hate you purely, walking surely, banging my head against the wall! I am the master of the mess I made! (You're nothing but a slave) The sharpest bluntness of a velvet blade! I spin the wheel, I break the seal, a rusted shield that draws the blood (You never fought a war) I take the blame, I fan the flame, I wash my wounds inside the mud I am the rescue ship that fires the gun, the setting sun that burns the skin I steal the page, I build the cage, I am the saint who prays to sin A crooked compass spinning round, a sinking ship upon the shore (You never left the dock) I heal the bruise to light the fuse, I am the priest demanding war! I am your tourniquet... that makes you bleed out faster. (I am not bleeding) I am the soothing cure... that brings the grand disaster. (You're just a scratch) I pay the ransom... just to stay kidnapped by you. (The chains are in your head) I paint the tragedy... and claim the sky is blue! I hug the blade, a deadly trade, the ransom paid to keep the pain! (There is no blade!) I crave the crash, the burning ash, the heavy lash, the acid rain! (It's only water!) [Male vocal] I love you madly, bleeding badly, gladly smiling as I fall! I hate you purely, walking surely, banging my head against the wall! I am the master of the mess I made! (You're nothing but a slave) The sharpest bluntness of a velvet blade! I am the hospital... that feeds you the disease. (I'm already cured) I beg you to stay... While I force you to your knees. (I'm standing tall)
