[Verse 1]
Would anyone take away the pain from me?
Would you strip it away to see the day I came back to life?
If I could say all the things I really feel
It might help the ache that my mistakes left undone

Bite my tongue and hold my final breath
Salt the wound and rip the heart from my chest
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Forge a lullaby to lay me to rest

Bite my tongue and hold my final breath
Salt the wound

Dredging the agony from the depths of despair
Bite my tongue, hold my breath
Salt the wound and rip the heart from my chest
[Bridge]

Bury the hatchet in your spineless back, sink it
One last earthquake to trigger collapse
Bury the hatchet in your spineless back
[Verse 3]
Would anyone take away the pain from me?
Would you strip it away to see the day I came back to life? (Came back to life)
If I could say all the things I really feel (Yeah)
It might help the ache that my mistakes left undone (Left undone)
[Outro]
Salt the wound
Rip the heart from my chest
Salt the wound
Bite my tongue and hold my final breath
