Until It Sleeps

Where do I take
This pain of mine
I run, but it stays
Right my side

So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps

Just like the curse
Just like the stray
You feed it once
And now it stays
Now it stays

So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean

It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps (until it sleeps, until it sleeps)

So tell me why
You've choosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it

I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps

It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps (until it sleeps, until it sleeps)

I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want it

So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'till I'm clean

I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me 
So hold me, until it sleeps

Until it sleeps (until it sleeps, until it sleeps)
Until it sleeps (until it sleeps, until it sleeps)
