Find every unkind word I've spilled. Line them up and have them killed. I've made a mess around the world. I've planted mines, stolen pearls. I was a choirboy in my heart singing "The Temple of God". Was it the dissonance I made, or the fact you could not bear the part? Forgive me.
Gather up all my poisoned darts should I find I've grown accustomed to the sport. I was a quiet girl in my heart really. Was it the white noise that I made, or the fact you could not hear the part? Forgive me.
What if you should let it go, would they think you were crazy? "You've gotta let that bitch know you're not weak; you're not going to take it!" You've tied me to the Catherine Wheel. You see the stripes but you're not healed. What are you waiting to feel? I can't go through this again and again. I want to be the one to help you mend 'cause I know you need loving, too.
Fill in the holes of my defense. Fill in the holes in the walls, in your life. Cover up the evidence. I was alive once in my heart, believe me. Was it the rhythm that I made, or the fact it all just fell apart? Forgive me.
