TAPPING THE VEIN LYRICS

1. Butterfly

What Am I?
I Wish I Was A Butterfly
I'd Fly And Fly
Until It Was My Time To Die
It's Creeping In Again
I Know What I Really Am
No More Pretty, Purple,
Peaceful Butterfly

Simple Life
If I Were A Butterfly
I'd Fly And Fly
Until It Was My Time To Die
Its Creeping In Again
I Know What I Really Am
No More Pretty, Purple,
Peaceful Butterfly
Come See The Blood That's In My Bed
Come Hear The Things
That Nobody Talks About
Shut Up You Mouth
Shame On You Shame On Me

Look At Me
I Wish I Was A Honey Bee
Anything, Anything Other Than
The Things I Have Been
I Slip Out Of My Skin
So I Don't Have To Do It Again
But Just A Passing Thought
And Your Filth Is Seeping In

Come Scrub My Hands
They Won't Come Clean
Come Sit With Me
While The Walls Press In On Me
Shut Off That Light
Shame On You. Shame On Me.

2. Broken

See? The Tide Is Turning Now And I'm Fading, Fading
I Have No Excuses Anymore
This Is Where I Wanted To Be
You've Twisted Me Out From The Inside
And You've Hung Me In The Wind

You Are My Weakness
You May Be My Downfall

I'm Helpless As You Move Away
I Am Empty, Aimless
I Have No Illusions Anymore
They Just Ran Right Out Of Me
And Every Day I'll Fight Not To Miss You
Every Day I'll Lose

You Are My Weakness
You May Be My Downfall

So Just Leave Me Here With My Tortured Heart
Or Stay And Watch As I Cut It Out

You Are My Weakness
You May Be My Downfall
I Don't Know Really, Really What You Want From Me
I Don't Know What You Really Want From Me
But You Will Be My Downfall

3. Inside

Lately, I Swear There's Something Crawling On My Skin.
An Indication Of The Shape I'm In.

Totally Aware Of Where I Am And How Far Down. Somebody Has Got To
Come And Pull Me Out.

Mother, Will You Help Me Make It Go Away?
Mother, Will You Help Me Make It All Right?

Maybe I Should Try And Go The Other Way I Don't Think It's Gonna Help Me Anyway.

Mother, Will You Help Me Make It Go Away?
Mother, Will You Help Me Make It All Right?
Mother, Will You Take Me Back Inside?
Take Me Back Inside. Inside Of Me.

Lately, I Fear There's Something Eating Me Alive.
It's Getting Ever Difficult For Me To Hide. I Don't Remember Ever Asking Anything From You.
Too Bad The Thing I Really Need You Cannot Do.

Mother, Will You Help Me Make It Go Away?
Mother, Will You Help Me Make It All Right?
Mother, Will You Take Me Back Inside?
Take Me Back Inside. Inside. Inside. Take Me Back Inside.

4. Falling In

I Realize This Is One Man's Sin But I Can't Deny That You're Pulling Me In.
You Found A Way To Get Inside My Head.
And, Yes, I'm Gonna Know Better Than To Sleep With You But At The Same Time I Got This Need To Feel You.
Let Me Put My Hands All Over You.

I Feel I'm Falling In.

And If I Threw You Off I Didn't Intent To.
I'm Just Wondering Do You Feel Me, Too. And You've No Idea What I'd Do To You.
Do You? Do You? Well, I Do.

Come Lie With Me And Then Let Me Touch You For Hours On And Steal A Little Piece Of Happiness.
And, Yes, I Ought To Know Better And I Thought It Through But I Can't Shake The Need To Please You.
Tell Me What You Need I'll Give It To You.

I Feel I'm Falling In. And If I Threw You Off I Didn't Intend To.
I Just Wanna Know Do You Feel It, Too.
Do You Wanna Know What I'd Do To You? Do You? Do You? Well, Sure You Do.

And If I Threw You Off I Didn't Intend To. I'm Just Wondering Do You Feel Me, Too.
And You've No Idea What I'd Do To Do To You? Do You? Do You?
Didn't Mean To Offend You I'm Just Wondering Do You Feel It, Too.
I Wanna Know Do You Want Me, Too. Now Do You? Do You? Well, Maybe You Do.

5. Numb

Complicate Me Every Inch Of Me
You Suck Me In Only To Spit Me Out
Pick Your Poison
Cause You Know
I'll Swallow All Of It Willingly

I'd Pry My Eyes Out
I'd Pry Them Out For You

I Can't Stand Here
Without Trembling
I Try To Speak But I'm Choking At The Mouth
You Annihilate Me Just Being There
You Violated All Of Me

And I'd Pry My Eyes Out
I'd Pry Them Out For You

I Am In A State Of Numb
I Cannot Breathe If You Will Not Breathe With Me
I Am In A State Of Numb
I Cannot Feel If I Cannot Feel You

I'd Pry My Eyes Out
I'd Pry Them Out For You

I Am In A State Of Numb
I Cannot Feel If I Cannot Feel You
I Am In A State Of Numb
I Cannot Breathe If You Will Not Breathe With Me
I Am In A State Of Numb
I Cannot Be Alive Here Without Remembering You

Can You Feel Me?
