As to take my hands And break every single bone If you'd only be so kind Take my heart and leave me alone But don't touch my mind My body is yours to harm But if you'd be so kind Please, leave me my mind. My age may harm me in eighty years And you may still peel my skin from muscle But if you would show me a kindness I swear I wouldn't struggle. Death doesn't scare me Neither does pain I can take on the world With little more than my brain. I'm liable to survive Through what I'm put through Then come back with a vengance And rip the heart out of you. So you may hurt me now Go ahead, be my guest But if you leave me alive I'll have your last breath.

If You'd Be So Kind
As to take my hands And break every single bone If you'd only be so kind Take my heart and leave me alone But don't touch my mind My body is yours to harm But if you'd be so kind Please, leave me my mind. My age may harm me in eighty years And you may still peel my skin from muscle But if you would show me a kindness I swear I wouldn't struggle. Death doesn't scare me Neither does pain I can take on the world With little more than my brain. I'm liable to survive Through what I'm put through Then come back with a vengance And rip the heart out of you. So you may hurt me now Go ahead, be my guest But if you leave me alive I'll have your last breath.
