They don't realize they're playing with my nerves
taking them apart like tangled phone wires
thinking they'll get it to work... they're so wrong
-
They don't realize there's no more connection
play with the dead wires as long as you want
nothing will ever work again... I'm cut off...
-
They don't realize, I've been dangling too long
I've been twisted too many times... play with my nerves
their dead ends... I'm cut off... There's no connection..
-
keep playing... it doesn't even hurt
