Cut the rope and let me fall,
Give it away, give it all,
I want nothing to be left,
Take it all and I'll take death

The strength I once had has faded,
There is no pure river in once I waded,
Alone I cry, to loneliness himself,
Stuffed me with cotton, placed me on his shelf,

I am nothing but a spectacle,
My eyes grown lifeless and dull,
I once was strong, patient and proud,
Now chained and stapled,
My voice no longer allowed,

These pictures fall to pieces; they're too heavy to hold,
I can't hang them together when the memories are too old,
The walls crumble around my fragile heart,
Priceless images now fractured art,

Save me, please save me once more,
Hold your foot in the concrete door,
Or leave me to scream in empty silence,
Left to my mind's vicious violence,

Wreck this love,
Wreck this home,
Let me fall,
O please, take it all
I'd rather die this way,
Than continue to crawl another day.
