The Hard Way

You can tell me what to do

Just open wide and let me through

I spit in the face of uncertainty, joyously

Blurred are the lines in a life that's not

Mine

As I roam these empty halls

I find no comfort in your walls

As I make my decision

I can't help envisioning

All of the paths that my life couldn't

Have

Cut out the middleman

Kill me yourself (Just kill me)

Won't you humble me

Teach me a lesson (Come find me)

The hard way

You can talk down to me (I won't mind)

I'll never mind

But don't act surprised whеn I leave you

Behind

Brеak my bones and break my heart

Tear my pointless world apart

Make me your puppet

Come on, tie me up

Make me sing like a marionette

Pull my strings

Cut out the middleman

Kill me yourself (Just kill me)

Won't you humble me

Teach me a lesson (Come find me)

The hard way

You can talk down to me (I won't mind)

I'll never mind

But don't act surprised when I leave you

Behind

All I have left is the sound of my voice

The echoes of begging you to make the right choice

Trick me to think that your silence is noise

Your company I have come to

Enjoy

God, you must hate me

Go on, tune me out

Ignore the whole point

Cloud my vision with doubt

You can provide me the ache that I strive for

Torture me, torment me

Make me alive

You can tell me what to do

(All I have left is the sound of my voice)

Just open wide and let me through

(The echoes of begging you to make the right choice)

I spit in the face of (Trick me to think)

Uncertainty, joyously (That your silence is noise)

Blurred out the lines in a life that's not

(Your company I have come to)

Mine (Enjoy)

Cut out the middleman

Kill me yourself (Just kill me)

Won't you humble me

Teach me a lesson (Come find me)

The hard way

You can talk down to me (Ignore me yes)

I'll never mind (I won't mind)

But don't act surprised when I leave you

Don't act surprised when I leave you

Don't act surprised when I leave you

Behind
