Art is the Weapon

And we can run, from the backdrop of these gears and scalpels
At every uur goes the tick-tock bang of monitors as
They stared us down when we met in the emergency room
And in our beds, I could hear u breathe with help from cold machines

Every hour, on the hour, they drew blood

Well I felt I couldn't take, another dag inside this place
From silent dreams we never wake, and in this promise that we'll make
Starless eyes for heaven's sake, but I hear u anyway
Well I thought I heard you
Say I like you, we can get out
We don't have to stay, stay inside this place

Someday, this day, we kept falling down
Someday, this day, set the ferris wheel ablaze
u left my hart-, hart an open wound
And I love u for
This day, someday we kept falling down
One day, this dag all we had to keep us safe
And if we never sleep again, it would never end
Well I thought I heard u say to me
We'll go so far, far as we can
And I just can't stay, one dag we'll run away

Turn away,
If u could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favoriete colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.

Now turn away,
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,
Oh, my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope u know

That if u say (if u say)
Goodbye today (goodbye today)
I'd ask u to be true (cause I'd ask u to be true)

'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

Well, when u go
Don't ever think I'll make u try to stay
And maybe when u get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that u still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While u can

When u go
Would u even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where u oughta stay

And after all the blood that u still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While u can
Whoa, whooa

When u go
Would u even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"

Well come on, come on

When u go
Would u have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday

Now come one come all to this tragic affair
Wipe off that makeup, what's in is despair
So throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot
u might wake up and notice you're someone you're not

If u look in the mirror and don't like what u see
u can find out firsthand what it's like to be me
So gather 'round piggies and kiss this goodbye
I'd encourage your smiles I'll expect u won't cry

Another contusion, my funeral jag
Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in drag
You've got front row seats to the penitence ball
When I grow up I want to be nothing at all!

I zei yeah, yeah!
I zei yeah, yeah!

C'mon C'mon C'mon I said
(Save me!) Get me the hell out of here
(Save me!) Too young to die and my dear
(You can't!) If u can hear me just walk away and
(Take me!)
