Why am i this way?
Tell me why?
Why am i this way?
WHY???
Open wounds in the palms of my hands
festering through infectious time
I feel so faint as my life spills over you
Backstep over glass as I repent
I fear I cannot prevent myself
from spilling your life all over me
{I'm so sick, so sick of myself
(1)Mother, say you'll pray for me
(2)I'm premature in my decay
(3)Mother, say you'll pray for me} (x3)
Shards of glass swimming in my eyes
A small voice in the back of my mind that's whispering words
I never want to hear
I pray that you won't hesitate
as you watch me degenerate
to reach in my wounds and extract all of my fear
{I'm so sick, so sick of myself
(1)Mother, say you'll pray for me
(2)I'm premature in my decay
(3)Mother, say you'll pray for me} (x3)
{My suffocation, asphyxiation
I've been choking on my own blood} (x2)
I'm so sick, so sick of myself
Mother, say you'll pray for me
