lyrics

I am taken to the place where the echoes are cold,
Where the light doesn’t come from the sun.
I am taken to the place where redemption is withheld
Tie me down to the gurney I am done. (x 2)

Shaken, not stirred – my heart is unheard
My blisters are all on display
Like some artwork that warrants your admiration
But which fails to teach what I say
It fails to teach what I say

My life is your pony – that your daddy wanted you to ride
My suffering only serves to provide
I’m just an artwork that calls to your intellect
But which does not display what I hide.
It cannot display what I hide.
