lyrics
I’ll leave you to sleep through your delicate fantasies
Leave you your eyes and your agonized smile
I’ll leave you to hide behind sheltering lunacy
Tricks of the mind played out in black and white
I’ll leave you alive, and this merciful cruelty
sucks all the life from your fetid remains
I’ll leave you your mind, just to watch you go out of it
Leave you the time to befoul your good name
I’ll leave you to lie with your own executioners
Leave you alive, to die over and over again
I’ll leave you alive…
Leave you your eyes and your agonized smile
I’ll leave you to hide behind sheltering lunacy
Tricks of the mind played out in black and white
I’ll leave you alive, and this merciful cruelty
sucks all the life from your fetid remains
I’ll leave you your mind, just to watch you go out of it
Leave you the time to befoul your good name
I’ll leave you to lie with your own executioners
Leave you alive, to die over and over again
I’ll leave you alive…
