An’ I watch the walls melt away
Pushing hard into every day,
your psycho words twisting the wind
into some evil thing you say,
pushing me until I am skinned,
still I stand despite your dismay.

Tomorrow I will get this right
but first have to get through tonight.
You’re tempting me with a cold lust,
I accept to hold off a fight.
Like a machine do what I must,
Appease your selfish appetite.

   Dying a little each time I try
   Losing a little until I die
   Trying a little each time I die.

   Fading a little each time I cry
   Failing a little each time I try
   Falling a little each time I sigh.

Let loose with a frightened scream,
you twist a knife in my esteem.
To hell with you for hurting me!
Escape is all I have to dream,
when this comes true, oh you will see
I now ignore the fate you deem!

   Dying a little each time I try
   Losing a little until I die
   Trying a little each time I die.

   Fading a little each time I cry
   Failing a little each time I try
   Falling a little each time I sigh.

An’ I watch the walls melt away,
I’ll be damned if I’m gonna stay.
Off into the free world I go,
released from your horrible way.
Just one more thing that you should know,
Never miss you a single day.
