I need the hurting words Please let me hear them now Quench my need for pain I want to feel it now Silence he spoke again, oh Or is it I don't want to hear ? I read the words in his trembling hand How can my love feed so much fear ? Why don't you crucify me So I can be reborn I cannot bear the cross anymore So many tears I cry behind my eyes A silent, blinding form of lie The hands that once took are now eager to release One injunction I disappear Let me hear what you want, but do you know ? I'm beggin' you to speak the words, I can't let go How can I stop breathing you ? How can I stop sleeping you? When will I stop bleeding you? I just can't stop needing you, no If you're looking for means to breed my hate Rumor-spreading, broken promises are vain The sanity assassin crawls inside my brain His name is love, yeah Hate I do not need Nothingness I seed Mercy is my plea Why don't you speak the words ?
