I never ask for help, which is why this song is so lame
It stinks of desperation and I don't wanna be ashamed
Ashamed of the humanity, the weakness and the pain
Ashamed of being ashamed and writing a cliche
At least anger has some dignity, some confidence and energy
At least I can be tough and assertive with integrity
But bargaining is just defeat, and that's not me
But there I was, defeated and ashamed
There I was, alone and ashamed
Tell me you love me on the walk down to the guillotine
Lay me down on the slab until I'm free
Maybe when I'm dead I'll finally know how you care for me
I'll be shown all the things I told myself you are feeling
And so here I am under the blade of your guillotine
Your hands on the rope, how can this be happening?
Choking on the fear, I'm begging and pleading
Don't do this, don't go, please don't kill me
