Corpse

There was a time when it seemed like I had it all

Gave all the love I could give but I fell off short

Jumped when they asked, never thought i’d be left on the floor

Laying with lies and a fickle disguise

I’m out cold

Nobody picks up the phone when I call anymore

Now I’m convincing myself that I’m better alone

Dancing with ghosts in my room ‘til the twilight falls

These walls are a perfect blue here to watch me bawl

I can’t be what you want from me anymore

Corpse the scene, your idea of me is a whore

I can’t be what you want from me anymore

Corpse the scene, your idea of me is a whore

Trying to prepare myself

Brace for impact

You won’t take it well

I can’t be what you want from me anymore

Untether yourself from me

Can’t handle your apathy

Corpse the scene, your idea of me is a whore

Don’t embrace this plastic skin

Built to break I’m paper thin

I can’t be what you want from me anymore

I can’t be what you want from me anymore

Corpse the scene, your idea of me is a whore

I can’t be what you want from me anymore

Corpse the scene, your idea of me is a whore

I can’t be what you want from me anymore
