The door hinge creeks and light pours
Like the cascade of a river onto me
Once again, the familiar ring of steel
Here you are again, demon, evening scores
Here I am again, demon, rain down on me
Your blade you know I’ll never feel

Bring you, enemy, bring you here
I’ll tear you limb from limb and laugh
Come here, friend, lay me down
Stay here with me for a little while
Go now, lover, break me into tears
You bring down upon yourself my wrath
I’ll slaughter all you love until you’re found
Tear me down until I’m suicidal

Hurt me now, I like it
Break me now, I want it
Burn me now, I need it
Kill me now, I love it

That’s right

I miss you while you’re here
But I die when you’re gone
I kiss you down to here
And you cry ‘cause I’m done
Where have you been?
I’ve needed you since I don’t know when
Demon, lover, enemy, friend

Break me now
Break me now, I love it.
Break me now

-------------------------------------------

Who are you to lie to me?
Why do you cry to me?
Who are you to vie to me?
Why don’t you die on me?

Break off, break off
Stay away from me
Take off, take off
Another day as me

You’re as sorry as a thief in the night
Stop explaining, you’re defenseless
Don’t lie to me; you’ll not win this fight
You wanted to be free, so fly from my fences
Your untruths can’t flee when I turn on the light
Stride away; I’ll stay here cleaning my lenses

Break off, take off
Another day without me
Wake up, take up
It’s not what you wanted it to be

Here I am again, broken as a twig
Wondering a thousand Why’s
I chew on a tasteless fig
And I remember her soft blue eyes
But she wanted to be away from me
And I’m too tired to give chase anyway
There she goes again, walking away gracefully
Oh God, why can I not be elsewhere, anyplace?

Who am I to lie to you?
Why do I cry to you?
Who am I to vie to you?
Why don’t I just die on you?

Break down, take down
I cannot be me any longer
