When all should be done and gone

He can't keep himself away

He touches her hand and it starts again
[Interlude] Em G Em G Em G Em G [Verse 2]

His work is an ugly mess

He prods and it cries in pain

   A
He kicks and it starts to scream

   A
He hurries away when she cannot see

Droplets of kindness that poison and choke

When this thing should have died long ago

           G
And that's mercy

    Em        G
And that's compassion

                 Em                G
And that's being good friends in a crisis

       Em                 G
What's one corpse between friends?

A        Em
Oh Oh-oh-oh

Leave it, boy

     Em            G
Just leave it alone

                          Em
Stop scratching, or it'll never heal

            G
Just let it lie in peace

    Em
Get out of the way

    G
Get out of the way

The brakes cannot last for long

He knows he must let it go

   A
He knows but he keeps a hold

   A
He touches her hand and it
[Bridge 2]

Starts again ah ah ah

Cm
Moving so slowly he drops it so gently

Cm
Urging its life to a peak to torment it again
