Break my bones Cut off my fingers All the unknowns Are what still linger The pain is a known A definitive existence The thoughts I hold down Are what scare me shitless I would take all of the pain For that one answer I need But my heart can't take it again If it can't be freed So slice me to pieces Oh so slowly from the start But, God, please please Would you please spare my heart

The Known
Break my bones Cut off my fingers All the unknowns Are what still linger The pain is a known A definitive existence The thoughts I hold down Are what scare me shitless I would take all of the pain For that one answer I need But my heart can't take it again If it can't be freed So slice me to pieces Oh so slowly from the start But, God, please please Would you please spare my heart
