Hold it together, hold it in They won't know where to find you If they don't know where you've been Let the pressure build up 'Til you're feeling stuck 'Til you feel you might drown And then swim further down When the flood gates finally open And it all comes rushing out You'll find pieces of yourself You'd forgotten all about But they won't fit anymore So the tide carries them out And what is left on the shore Is something broken and impure

Let me tell you of something I was once in What they call Love should be considered a Sin It'll sound like Heaven but don't fall for the trap I swear to God I will never go back What started as my insides feeling gooey and nice Became something closer to a gripping vice Became more vital than oxygen to breathe Then left me torn open without so much as a blink It's not worth your while, to this I can attest If you're not yet convinced, just wait for the rest The fires that are burning in the depths of Hell Are cool in comparison to those of Love's spell Don't mess with this stuff; it's bound to leave you sore And crying all alone on the bathroom floor With a hole in your chest where your heart should be Good luck trying to stitch up that seam Best take my advice: it isn't worth your time I wish I'd been warned before I wasted mine
