Pulling Your Insides Out

Pulling Your Insides Out

baby watch my blood boil 
to an opalescent blue 
better draw the curtain 
they're trying to catch a glimpse of you 
slowly watch the fruit die 
still clinging to the vine 
redemption from a bottle 
that stays empty all the time 

but my dear it's worth the pain 
when they're pulling your insides out 

baby know your nemesis 
he's posing as your best friend 
don't believe the newspapers 
they're telling lies again 
the cold hand of the healers 
will slice your soul in two 
they roll out the red carpet 
just to pull it out from under you 

but my dear it's worth the pain 
when they're pulling your insides out 

baby mind the vultures 
they're circling round the bone 
feeding from the idols 
they think they can draw blood from a stone 
the more the diamond glitters 
the more it can deceive 
the Truth lay in the treasure 
of what we disbelieve 

but my dear it's worth the pain 
when they're pulling your insides out
