You'll Never Take Me Away
I don’t know where I am
I don’t remember a thing
This is frightening
My gawd I wonder what’s coming next
Then you poke and you prod and you rip and you tear
And you prep and you check and you scan and you stare
I need to save my ass before I see my pride being taken from me
I’m away follow the lights
There’s something to see, oh, there’s something to find
You say I’m the one
You say I’m the key
You say a lot of shit to me
I don’t wanna be
This is sodomy
I’m scared for my life but I’m somewhat amused
There’s more comfortable ways than your beads and your leads and your fancy machines
You’ll never, you’ll never, you’ll never take me away
I, I can see your point
I see it pointing at me
This is frightening as you open up to check what’s inside
So I run and I kick and I scream and I fight
And I push and I pull and I claw and I climb
I’m breaking out of this hell before I see my pride being taken from me
I’m away follow the lights
There’s something to see, oh, there’s something to find
You say I’m the one
You say I’m the key
You say a lot of shit to me
I don’t wanna be
This is sodomy
I’m scared for my life but I’m somewhat amused
There’s more comfortable ways than your beads and your leads and your fancy machines
You’ll never, you’ll never, you’ll never take me away
This is in no way my design
You like your home I like mine
Breathe in life
Breathe in some life
Breathe in some life and I will show them the sign
I’m away follow the lights
There’s something to see, oh, there’s something to find
You say I’m the one
You say I’m the key
You say a lot of shit to me
I don’t wanna be
This is sodomy
I’m scared for my life but I’m somewhat amused
There’s more comfortable ways than your beads and your leads and your fancy machines
You’ll never, you’ll never, you’ll never take me away
You’ll never take me away (x3)
Hide
Seeking out these ghosts I’ve come to realize it goes just a little deeper
You think that I’m just gonna take it
You think that I’m just gonna play dead
You think that I’m just gonna sit here and let you get away
This is the way
This is ok
This is what I desire
Like it or not this is the way
This is what I desire
Seeking out these ghosts I’ve come to realize I’ll enter just a little neater
And everything’s gonna be flawless
And everything’s gonna be perfect
And everything’s going to go my way tonight
This is the way
This is ok
This is what I desire
Like it or not this is the way
This is what I desire
Hey, it’s only this once, but I cannot say you won’t like what you get you won’t do it again
And I’ll tell you this
I’m scaring myself cuz I know there’s a chance that I just might do it again, oh
Hide
It’s best if you hide
And I will seek and go unseen
Anywhere you hide I’ll find you
Just as you’ve broken me I will be breaking you down
This is the way
This is ok
This is what I desire
Like it or not this is the way
This is what I desire
Hey, It’s only this once, but I cannot say you won’t like what you get you won’t do it again
And I’ll tell you this
I am so frightened cuz I know there’s a chance I might do it again
It might be this once, but I cannot tell cuz I think once I leave you’ll be doing it yourself
You think that I kid
You think that I lie
You should take my advice cuz it’s best if you hide
It’s best if you hide (x3)
