I will ask for a taste
Of the malice you displayed
Cause you're my ball and chain, my penitentiary x
The case that won't let me get away
I'm caught like a fish in a barrell
Explosives around the outside
I will not recite your carol
I will not allow your pedestal to rise
And I will lie and say i'm fine
Even though i'm burning up inside
My heart will fill with the carbon monoxide
And all of my dreams will die
As you light the fuse
I will think of all the things i'll lose
Some of those things include
The ring that i bought for you, it turned into fire and then it stuck like glue
To my wounded back
Your words as sharp as thumb tacks
My nerves will start running laps
Sending every slur or curse my way
And I will lie and say i'm fine
Even though i'm burning up inside
My heart will fill with the carbon monoxide
And all of my dreams will die
