Verse 1:
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

Chorus:
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Verse 2:
Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

Chorus:
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be

I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Verse 3:
Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries

Chorus: (Changed)
And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Last Chorus: (Changed)
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I'll never live down my deceit
