With all your subtlety
And beat around the bush talk
You killed me and brought me back to life
And because of that I walk the walk
The immense relief deactivates me
And leaves me lying clean on the floor

You shook me up
And put me down
It took a while
But now I've found
The way I must keep living

The spikes that flew off your tongue
Pierced my skin
Outside my head, my eyeballs hung
Had to hold my jaw in place
To keep from shattering on the floor
Now I hold my head high
And politely ask for more

More, more, more
Give me something to cry about
Again and again and again
Let me feel the disappointment

I have no more to say
But thank you so much
I appreciate the thought
To know I've hurt you in such
A way that I can never apologize
Only live by new terms

And hope to make my way
To the top rung
Smile and wave
Make you proud and save
The only face
That remains
The only face
That remains
