Forget the letter, just sleep sound tonight   Pull back the covers without a fight   But as we dance by emergency light      I fail to swallow my tongue   And I'm still here bleeding   So pull this switch and see my body twitch      Oh, as we dance on this memory   A light left blinking on it's own   And my blood is flowing      Down through this machine   In hope and desire   In hope I expire      Turn off this machine   'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive   Turn off this machine   'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive      So pull this switch and see my body twitch   Oh, as we dance on this memory   Despair has devoured me whole      A seed won't grow from this soul   This pull won't cure my disease   Can't you kill this bleeding heart?      Turn off this machine   'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive   Turn off this machine   'Cuz this is the only thing that's keeping me alive      Please nurse, my batteries are running low   Please nurse, oh, oh, I think I'm running low      Left here swallowed by this fear   That you will always keep me here   To close your eyes and pray for this to go away      'Cuz I'm not angry, tired or sore   More of a man than I was before   Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?      I plead, forgive me   'Cuz I'm no martyr   Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?      I plead, forgive me   'Cuz I'm no martyr   Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?      'Cuz I'm not angry, tired or sore   More of a man than I was before   Is this the 'cause I'm looking for?      I plead, forgive me   'Cuz I'm no martyr   You're not the 'cause I'm looking for      I plead, forgive me   'Cuz I'm no martyr   And you're not the 'cause I'm looking for
