I'm holding my last breath   It's burning in my lungs   Clenching up my eyes   Bloody up my tongue   For the words that might escape   Are ringing in my ears   Grinds me to a pulp   Grind me in the gears   My frozen spirit aches   I slip another day   Start to lose my grip   Find another way   For the life that might escape   Has been echoing for years   Grinds me to a pulp   Grind me in the gears   I've seen all the faces   They mirror me   And I've felt the tearing   Tearing of the teeth   I've given up my ghosts   Barely breathe your name   Offer up myself   Pray you'll do the same   For the love that might escape   Well that's the biggest fear   Grinds me to a pulp   Grind me in the gears
