[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

I play doctor for five minutes flat

Before I cut my heart open and let the air out

Three bugs, a pound of dust, some wind spilled before me

In the strangest manner that had broke away my tear spout

As I lie there with my tongue spread wide open

A black widow had offered me a sweetheart tube

As I injected the candied heart that I selected

She said, "Don't hesitate, just do what you had to do to me"


[Verse 2]

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin

Just 'cause I have nerves don't mean that I can feel

I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway

Just let the blood run red 'cause I can't feel

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin

Just 'cause I have nerves don't mean that I can feel

I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway

Just let the blood run red 'cause I can't feel


[Bridge]

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time, it's time

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time, it's time

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time, it's time

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time until the time is right

Biding my time, it's time

Biding, biding, biding, biding

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


[Verse 3]

Someone is behind me

Someone inside me

Everyone against me

Everyone beside me

Clawing away the pieces

Scratching away the abscess

One more, two more

Everyone, once more

One more, two more

Everyone, once more

Inside the places that I hide from you

I want to see you splayed before me

You are the only one

That I would rather see right before me lying

You want it, you need it

You want it, you need it

You want it, you need it

You want it, you need it

Don't lie; I've had your heart; I've had no heart?

I don't want you to be anyone when I die

I wanna die, I'd rather die, I wanna die

You purge, you burn, you purge

I don't need you anymore, I don't need you


[Outro]

Yeah

It is time

It is time

It is time

It is time

It is time

It is time

It is time

It is time

It is time

It is time

It is time

It is time
