the coldest story ever told

Ive pleaded with you till Im blue in the face.
Im begging and pleading for you to hear my case.
Put it all down and take my hand.
Put it all down and make this stand.

Youre spending so much time and so much energy
trying to convince me that *I* am the one so ready
to call it all off .. to run away ..

You keep saying that you dont want to lose me
At this point all youve done is convince me
that youre the one who cant move past what you see in me.

I cant take your doubt of my heart
I cant take your falling apart
This is my last chance
My one final stand
Take me by the hand
Or just lose your gold band.

pieces

So far, everyone we meet ... falls in heaps at our feet.

at your foot or mine ...they each need their piece.

Youve come here in search of that which you've festered

youve come here and found ... what youve been after.

Who is my audience? ... Me

Because I am my audience .. until I hit the button.

Because I cant be driven away .. here is what I have to say
I have no heart .. I took your soul
I gave you life ... five in a row.

You call out my crazy and they can see your Madness
After sixteen years .. you'd think we'd have had it.

Im begging you not to throw it all in ...
Youre begging me .. to reveal your own sin.






They dont know what we've been through
They dont know about me and you.
