If I could speak, I'd tell you all my fears and deprivations If I could feel, I'd take away your pain If I could breathe, I'd show you all my scars and imperfections If I could bleed, I'd hold you in my veins You've got me feeling like an animal Beat down in fear and paralyzed You've got me feeling like I have no other hand to hold in this assisted suicide So say something beautiful Say what you're keeping inside This anticipation, I will only let you down Say something meaningful Say what you're trying to hide This anticipation, I will only let you down If I could breed, I'd show you all my infantile obsessions If I could sleep, I'd hold you in my head If I was strong, I'd keep you close and render you defenseless If I was gone, I'd hope you take my place You've got me feeling like an animal Beat down in fear and paralyzed You've got me feeling like I have no other hand to hold in this assisted suicide So say something beautiful Say what you're keeping inside This anticipation, I will only let you down Say something meaningful Say what you're trying to hide This anticipation, I will only let you down So say something beautiful Say what you're keeping inside This anticipation, I will only let you down Say something meaningful Say what you're trying to hide This anticipation, I will only let you down
