Throw Me Away (Live At MTV Studio, NYC, 2006)

[Intro]
When we were doing this song
Again, we were trying to figure out different ways to make this special and different
Because of the whole acoustic thing, we’re not really used to this
And, we decided to invite a Taiko ensemble up with us
These are Japanese Taiko drums
And I think its a very amazing instrument when they are all played together
So, uh, I’m going to let them do their thing and at the end, we’re going to go to throw me away
But, just let them go first

[Taiko Drum Intro]

[Verse 1]
Flesh wound, flesh wound
With medication, it will fade
Should I assume
That someone hears me when I pray?

[Pre-Chorus]
Love, full of hate
Don't you love how I pray?

[Chorus]
Don't let them throw me away
Aha!
Keep me and I'll be okay
Aha!
Skipping a beat but it plays
Aha!
Don't let them throw me away
Aha!
Don't let them throw me away

[Verse 2]
Screwed up, used up
Crumbled, lying on the floor
Fucked up, shut up
All you did back then was score

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm feeling weak
Missing parts, incomplete

[Chorus]
Don't let them throw me away
Aha!
Keep me and I'll be okay
Aha!
Skipping a beat but it plays
Aha!
Don't let them throw me away
Aha!
Don't let them throw me away
(Don’t let them throw me away)
Don’t let them throw me away
Ahh

[Bridge]
Hold me up into the light
Fix the cracks and fix them right
Keep the pieces in a drawer
Keep them there forevermore
Wake a million thoughts someday
Recycle this in someway
And all that I have to say
Please let them throw me away

[Harmonizing]

[Chorus]
Don't let them throw me away
Aha!
Keep me and I'll be okay
Aha!
Skipping a beat but it plays
Aha!
Don't let them throw me away
Aha!

[Harmonizing]

Don't let them throw me away
