Lyrics

The waiting drove me mad You're finally here and I'm a mess I take your entrance back Can't let you roam inside my head I don't wanna take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your bread I would rather run but I can't walk Guess I'll lie alone just like before I'll take the varmint's path Oh, and I must refuse your test Push me and I will resist This behavior's not unique I don't want to hear from those who know They can buy, but can't put on my clothes I don't want to limp for them to walk Never would have known of me before I don't want to be held in your debt I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed I'm already cut up and half dead I'll end up alone like I began Everything has chains Absolutely nothing's changed Take my hand, not my picture Spill my tincture I don't want to take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your bread All the things that others want for me Can't buy what I want because it's free Can't buy what I want because it's free Can't be what you want because I'm I ain't supposed to be just fun Oh, to live and die, let it be done I figure I'll be damned All alone, like I began
