Like the virus in my veins, a broken window pane,
Jaws are locked into place,
Mingled cup thrown in my face,
I live in a house of clay, violated and dismayed,
I don't want to be a dream in somebody else's sleep.

It's only when I'm left alone that I pervert what I've sown,
Blood and skin beneath my nails reflect the emptiness of Hell,
It's only when I'm left alone that I pervert what I've sown,
Blood and skin beneath my nails.

Then I squirm in my bed, pull the sheets around my head,
Soaking wet in pools of sweat,
Pray for me; I'm not dead.

It's only when I'm left alone that I pervert what I've sown,
Blood and skin beneath my nails reflect the emptiness of Hell,
It's only when I'm left alone that I pervert what I've sown,
Blood and skin beneath my nails.

Take me out with the garbage,
Don't you compromise, 'cause that's all we really are 'til we confess the lie.

It's only when I'm left alone that I pervert what I've sown,
Blood and skin beneath my nails reflect the emptiness of Hell,
It's only when I'm left alone that I pervert what I've sown,
Blood and skin beneath my nails,
It's only when I'm left alone that I pervert what I've sown,
Blood and skin beneath my nails,
It's only when I'm left alone that I pervert what I've sown,
Blood and skin beneath my nails.
