Blue Study

[Verse 1]
Somewhere between my tongue and cheek
I can feel the hands on me
Pulls me in so we are face-to-face
I don't wanna see it... I don't wanna see

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my head up, can't avert my eyes
Spots and rats on me, I don't wanna see
Claw the ground up, get me out of this
Never wanted this, never needed this!

[Chorus]
And you left me, and I left you
And you left me, and I left you, too

[Verse 2]
Chair is stained and I can't stay awake
Bring forth evidence to keep me sane
I can't keep this riddle locked inside
Seven ways to keep my secrets tied

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't believe this, I belong in chains
Separated, it was me and something else
Now I'm numbing, get me out of this
Never wanted this, never needed this!

[Chorus]
And you left me, and I left you
And you left me, oh, but then I left you and...
And you left me, and I left you
And you left me, and I left you, too

[Solo: Jim Root]

[Verse 3]
Arms stretched out, giving thanks to pain
Spotlight looking down, I'm ashamed
Kneeling with my forehead to the ground
I can't help but flinch before I'm found

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need you! Can't you see behind?
Doesn't matter now, doesn't matter anymore!
Maybe made me, get me out of this
Never wanted this, never needed this!

[Chorus]
And you left me, and I left you
And you left me
And, motherfucker, then I left you, and...
And you left me, and I left you
And you left me, and I left you, too

[Outro]
Safe! I just want to be safe!
Safe! I just want to be safe!
Safe! Don't you want to be safe?
Safe! Why can't you let me be safe?
