Why can't I ever seem to find a way to hold myself together My fractured thought processes lead my mind to fatal errors Am I'm captured? Or enraptured? Am I slipping? I'm addicted to addictions and compiling false afflictions Why must the pain of all these these beatings Keep me wrapped up in your fictions I'm tired Uninspired I'd like to to rest now So take me away Take me away 'Cause I'm tired of feeling lonely while you meekly try and hold me Take me away I don't want to stay 'Cause I'm battered and I'm broken From the words I've left unspoken Take me away Please take me away yeah Take me away My pills are tough to swallow when I see you lurk around Am I burying the person whose attraction you had found? Have I lost him? What did I cost him? Is he still breathing? When I saw you seethe into your pillow on that cold October night Did you know yet why you'd hate me, did you lose your will to fight? Am I sorry? I'm too weary I've let it go now And while you lay there Blinded by your bed hair I knew you wouldn't care to see me anyway So take me away Take me away 'Cause I'm tired of feeling lonely while you meekly try and hold me Take me away I don't want to stay 'Cause I'm battered and I'm broken From the words I've left unspoken Take me away Please take me away yeah Take me away Lord take me away Oh you were trying To make diamonds But you're timing It was frightening Because the pressure You were placing It was lacking In grace and I think it was crushing me Crushing me
