He bends and he breaks
if you kiss it will take away
his passion, his pain, his brain

he excels
a thousand black flowers explode
into butterflies as they're away

rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
see him numb, see him crushed
see him numb, see him crushed
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
leave him numb, leave him crushed
leave him numb, leave him crushed

just a fire inside one too many times
hes burning over and out now he fails
up against the raging tides
no more fights
everything you ever wanted to see
i see it in his eyes
one more time, one more time

my time to test the waters
my hands feel like they're rusting away
so obvious, so numb, i can leave before the slaughter
i'll stay here, as long as you let me
decisions, then, made obvious, and while they're in tune
where i started, i'll stay there
when i'm finished
i'll wither away

rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
see him numb, see him crushed
see him numb, see him crushed
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
leave him numb, leave him crushed
leave him numb, leave him crushed
