Lyrics

[Intro, whispered] I'm here [Verse 1] I could beg a thousand times I could explain, I could use rhymes And rhythms meant to catch your eye But I know you won't see I could cry a thousand tears I could appease your secret fears But the louder that I scream The harder your machines close over me [Chorus] But I don't care, maybe I'm afraid But still, I swear You could take my life with conscience clear But you should still hear That if I burn You will see the fire in your mind when you sleep And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes, you'll know it's me And the rain won't wash away the ashes underneath your nails today Doesn't matter where you go or what you do 'Cause if I burn, so will you [Verse 2] I could bargain, but I'd lose You'll sell the parts that you don't use Yes, I could beg you to be merciful and set me free I could threaten you with hell Or I could promise not to tell But the softer I become The harder your machines close over me [Chorus] But I don't care, maybe I'm afraid But still, I swear You could take my life with conscience clear But you should still hear That if I burn You will see the fire in your mind when you sleep And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes, you'll know it's me And the rain won't wash away the ashes underneath your nails today Doesn't matter where you go or what you do 'Cause if I burn, so will you [Bridge] When you sleep, you'll feel my icy fingers Crawling down your back And when you wake, you'll find me right beside you Waiting to attack And when you walk, I will be right behind you Quickening my steps And when you try to shut me out, I will be laughing in your head [Chorus] Oh, I'll be there, maybe I'm afraid But still, I swear You could take my life with conscience clear But you should still hear That if I burn You will see the fire in your mind when you sleep And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes, you'll know it's me And the rain won't wash away the ashes underneath your nails today Doesn't matter where you go or what you do 'Cause if I burn, so will you [Outro] There are two sides to every story… Except for this one! It's not over till it's over And it's never over You can break me Death can take me But it's never over It's not over 'til it's over And it's never over You can break me Death can take me But it's never over
