He bends and he breaks
If you kiss it will take away
His passion, his pain, his brain

He exhales
A thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away

Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
And leave nothing that
Resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
And leave nothing that
Resembles a soul of a man
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Leave him numb, leave him crushed

Just a fire inside one too many times
He's burning over and out now he fails
Up against the raging tides
No more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see
I see it in his eyes
One more time, one more time

My time to test the waters
My hands feel like they're rusting away
So obvious, so numb, I can leave before the slaughter
I'll stay here, as long as you let me
Decisions, then, made obvious, and while we're in tune
Where I started, I'll stay there
When I'm finished
I'll wither away

Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
And leave nothing that
Resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
And leave nothing that
Resembles a soul of a man
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
