Where do I take this pain of mine.
 [bad word] but it stays right by my side.
 So tear me open and pour me out
 There's things inside that scream and shout,
 And the pain still hates me
 So hold me until it sleeps.

 Just like a curse, just like a stray.
 You feed it once and now it stays,
 Now it stays.
 So tear me open but beware
 There's things inside without a care,
 And the dirt still stains me
 So wash me until I'm clean.
 It grips you so hold me
 It stains you so hold me
 It hates you so hold me
 It holds you so hold me
 Until it sleeps.

 So tell me why you've chosen me
 Don't want your grip
 Don't want your greed
 Don't want it
 Now tear me open make you gone
 No more can you hurt anyone,
 And the fear still shakes me
 So hold me, until it sleeps
 It grips you so hold me
 It stains you so hold me
 It hates you so hold me
 It holds you, holds you, holds you 
 Until it sleeps
 Don't want it want it want it want it want it... no!

 So tear me open but beware
 There's things inside without a care,
 And the dirt still stains me,
 So wash me till I'm clean.
 Now tear me open make you gone
 No longer will you hurt anyone,
 And the hate still shapes me,
 So hold me until it sleeps
