If you open up my chest

You will find there's nothing left

But an empty case for organs that have died

But if you look behind my eyes

In the basement of my mind

You will find the will to live

Chained up inside

And if you look inside my brain

There's a leech that sucks my faith

And I'm scared that soon

There won't be none to bleed

But if you listen to my words

There's a song you've never heard

A requiem for people who are

Just like meeeeeeeeee......

They vanished

Before you saw them go

But you'll remember

The last time they went home

And you'll remember

When you got that phone call

But they vanished

Before you saw them go

If you take a look at me

There's a rope around my feet

And I've been hanging from the gallows

For so long

And I'm numb

If you hear the words I say

I'm just begging you to stay

And I'm numb

If you hear the words I say

I'm just begging you to stay

But I've been practicing my smile

For when you don't

So you'll never know

That I'm all alone

So I'll let you go

And I hope that you don't see

That I vanished

Before you saw me go

But you'll remember

The last time I went home

And you'll remember

When you got that phone call

But I vanished

Before you saw me go

And you'll remember

The last time I went home

And you'll remember

When you got that phone call

But I vanished

Before you saw me
