lyrics

Cut me open and I’ll turn white
Cut me open and I’ll turn away
What kind of mother wouldn’t wanna watch the sun shine?
What kind of mother would let her son die?
What kind of mother would let her son die?

Split me open now I’m black and blue
What a way to be awakened in time
Leave me waiting in an empty room
While the residue is drying inside
While the residue is dying inside

Rip me open and I’ll run dry
Leave me hanging on the telephone line
Turn my fingers to a plastic wire
If it lingers I don’t feel for awhile
While it lingers I won’t feel for awhile

Cut me open now I’m 24
Every hour I’m awake for one more
What kind of mother wouldn’t wanna watch the sun shine?
What kind of mother would let her son die?
What kind of mother would let her son die?
The kind of mother that would watch her son rise
The kind of mother that I want to be mine
The kind of mother that I want to be mine
