Something Dire

[Verse 1]
I thought I'd gotten over this
Day after day after a hundred years
What good is it now?
I struggle to contain
Everything promised and never received
Everyone said that they wouldn't leave
Everything promised and never received

[Chorus]
Stop me if I let my tongue spew fire
Kill me if you cannot reach me
Stop me if I'm doing something dire
Kill me if you cannot teach me

Stop me if I let my tongue spew fire
Kill me if you cannot reach me
Stop me if I'm doing something dire
Kill me if you cannot teach me

[Verse 2]
I thought I would endure it all
I cannot see what I had wanted then
What have I done? (What have I done?)
The stains of yesterday

[Bridge]
All of the time I was lying down
Backwards and forwards and bleeding sound
All of the time I was lying down
(Lying down)

Stop me if I let my tongue spew fire

[Chorus]
Stop me if I let my tongue spew fire
Kill me if you cannot reach me
Stop me if I'm doing something dire
Kill me if you cannot teach me

Stop me if I let my tongue spew fire
Kill me if you cannot reach me
Stop me if I'm doing something dire
Kill me if you cannot teach me

(But I'll stay again
I can wait some more
I can stay right here for what's in store
I can hold my own
Glowing like a rose
I will stay right here until you go)
