Forget the letters just sleep sound tonight
Pull back the covers without a fight
But as we dance by emergency light
I fail to swallow my tongue
And I'm still here bleeding
So pull this switch and see my body twitch
As we dance on this memory
light left blinking on it's own
And my blood is flowing down
Through this machine
In hope and desire in hope I expire

Turn off this machine
'Cos this is the only thing that's keeping me 
alive (X2)

So pull this switch and see my body twitch
As we dance on this memory
Despair has devoured me whole
seed wont grow from this soul
This pull wont cure my disease
Cant you kill this beating heart

Turn off this machine
'Cos this is the only thing that's keeping me 
alive (X2)

Please nurse my batteries [bad word] low
Please nurse oh I think [bad word] low
Left here swallowed by this fear
That you will always keep me hear
So close your eyes and pray for this to go away

'Cos I'm not angry, tired or sore
More of a man than I was before
Is this the cause I'm looking for
I plead forgive me
'Cos I'm no martyr
Is this the cause I'm looking for 
'Cos I'm not angry, tired or sore
More of a man than I was before
Is this the cause I'm looking for

I plead forgive me
'Cos I'm no martyr
You're not the cause I'm looking for (x3)
