Remedy

If you want me hold me back
Just leave them where they lie
But not for pleasure
The pain will never fail
Frail, the skin is dry and pale

And so we go back to the remedy
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Just leave them where they lie
Just leave them where they lie
Clip the wings that get you high
And so we go back to the remedy
I'll die alone
That ugly thing
All here with me

And play a while
It's been eroded by the weather here
I need to mend so far away
My eyes don't need to see
Just leave them where they lie
I'll die alone
The pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Hold your eyes closed
Clip the wings that get you high
But you can't stay too long
I know it's me you fear
So come sit by the fire
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
And speak but don't pretend
Clip the wings that get you high
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
But not for you
I see my heart explode
If you want me hold me back
Clip the wings that get you high
Frail, the skin is dry and pale
Frail, the skin is dry and pale
I don't need a friend

And so we go back to the remedy

And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Clip the wings that get you high

Frail, the skin is dry and pale

It aches in every bone

The pain will never fail
The pain will never fail
I won't defend you anymore you see
The pain will never fail
Take me in
It aches in every bone
And so we go back to the remedy
Just leave them where they lie
Take me in
Hold your eyes closed
Frail, the skin is dry and pale
