©2017 The Positronic Cats

Don't ever look at me, touch me, or talk to me
I can exist just like this
You fed on my weaknesses, you know I get speechless
Then I freeze up
I'm not playing dumb, I am biting my tongue for good reason dear
& if this is some game, well it's cruel & insane & I'm leaving here
I am leaving...

I will crystallize your tears & make a thousand chandeliers (x4)

Don't ever look at me, touch me, or talk to me
I can exist just like this
You fed on my weaknesses, you know I get speechless
Then I freeze up
I'm not playing dumb, I am biting my tongue for good reason dear
& if this is some game, well it's cruel & insane & I'm leaving here

don't look so surprised, I am simply paralyzed (x2)

Well you've carved out your life with some dull, rusty knife
Now you're tasting it
And you've got what you want so stop
Crossing my lines you are taking my time and you are wasting it
You are wasting it

I will crystallize your tears & make a thousand chandeliers (x4)
