Fallen here cold and shivering, this core’s been shaken
Deep within a brittle shell cracking, something sacred taken
But you’re not supposed to know it, and that’s why this face keeps smilin’
‘Cause I’ve spent all my energy on it, but I cant break cause you’re on the line
Hatred and love flow from a shattered heart, mixing into something that eats away at me
I can’t take anymore of your battered heart, fixing you takes everything from me
So why cant you just take this little thought, this advice from us all
Please listen, you just love the thought, give it up and let it fall
But you say, but we say, but she’ll say, so you don’t, so we don’t, so she won’t
Give it up, she gave it up, to you, to him, to them
He says she wouldn’t, she says she wouldn’t, she whispers, and now he listens
I’ll tell you one last time, now I’m gonna tell you one last time
Drop it and pick up from the bottom, continue on renewed and redefined
I’ll tell you one last time, now I’m gonna tell you one last time
Take heed to the signs written through chipped paint and broken glass
Too late, she snapped, no going back now… threw out drugs and she cracked
Your life and family shattered by her hate, swinging to hurt, attacking your pain
Too late, you snapped, no going back now… threw up your fists and she cracked
Your life and dreams shattered by her hate, cell door slams and you’re in pain
And you will hear me when the rain begins to fall
And you will feel me when the pain begins to rise
And you will hear me when the gavel begins to fall
And you will feel me when the hell begins to rise
Dragging me into your self-destructing little hole
You’ve found my conscience and taken hold
I’ve fallen here cold and shivering, shaken to the core
Exposed through skin torn, clawed by desperate nails
But you can’t know it, and that’s why this face keeps smilin’
