    I am waiting ''til there''s nothing left

    I''m a prayer, all you see is breath

    I am empty, I am skin and bones, I''m a ribcage

    Well, I''m out the door with apathy

    But I''m coming home with sympathy

    I am realized, I am shamed, I choose to stay here



    You got a sign, so I paid the ransom

    You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come

    Had a nice grip on my life ''til you twisted my arm

    My arm



    There''s a song I love so much I stole

    Every precious note I took, I sold

    Now I spit out words, do you see my lungs on the dance floor


    To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul

    A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold

    Until I break into chokable pieces



    You got a sign, so I paid the ransom

    You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come

    Had a nice grip on my life ''til you twisted my arm

    My arm



    And I open up like the back of a book

    I ruin everything with just a quick look

    And I settle down like a rocket explodes

    Hit the ground, but how far out who knows



    You got a sign, so I paid the ransom

    You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come

    Had a nice grip on my life ''til you twisted my arm

    My arm
