[Verse 1]

Break me in

Teach us to cheat

And to lie, and cover up

What shouldn't be shared


[Pre-Chorus]

And the truth's unwinding, scraping away

At my mind, please stop asking me to describe


[Chorus]

For one moment

I wish you'd hold your stage with no feelings at all

Open-minded

I'm sure I used to be so free


[Verse 2]

Self-expressed

Exhausting for all

To see and to be

What you want and what you need


[Pre-Chorus]

And the truth's unwinding, scraping away

At my mind, please stop asking me to describe


[Chorus]

For one moment

I wish you'd hold your stage with no feelings at all

Open-minded

I'm sure I used to be so free


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

For one moment

I wish you'd hold your stage with no feelings at all

Open-minded

I'm sure I used to be so free


[Instrumental Break]


[Outro]

Wash me away

Clean your body of me

Erase all the memories

They'll only bring us pain

And I've seen all I'll ever need
