lyrics

Welcome back into my life, friend
Let me hold your hand so I can feel if it's real
Maybe I've just lost my mind, or
Were you always made of steel?
Did you strike some kind of deal?

Your teeth don't shine the way they used to
Your breath puts off a hint of voodoo
My ear is resting on your sternum
But all I hear are cogs a-turnin'

And it feels like you are trying to say something but you can't
As you "tame thy tongue" you speak in beeps that I can't understand

My eyes have opened to the man I am
They see your friendly faces as an ambush
Now you've got me thinking, hours without blinking,
Surely I am sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts

Now my blood can't go on pumping
Without him thumping on my door
To trade my bleeding heart for an iron core

But he told me if I'd just let him do it life would be so good
As he claimed my tongue I spoke in beeps that can't be understood
