Blue October - Drilled A Wire Through My Cheek Lyrics

I try to stay on top of you
To hold your body down
Your shaking seems to hinder every grasp that I had found

Moving every inch around me
To defuse your private bomb
I stretch myself surrounding and protecting you from harm

I use a wallet for your mouth so when you bite you will not bleed
I drilled a wire through my cheek and let it down and out my sleeve

And now you're pulling out the best of me
Yeah, which never ever comes
This wire's all that's left of me and it's hooked within my gums within my gums

So drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it
(So drain it) so drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it
(You've got to drain it)

As proof to show I'd bleed for this I'd cut myself to shame
To get to know this masochist who's stolen my first name

Pretending he's a teacher holding all my weight at ease
But the teacher seems to split in two destroying both his knees

Now crawling I position myself below your broken wings
I lift your feathered left arm where you hide your heart from me

I never noticed it was swollen with the touch of brutal pain
I never knew a heart could live inside the rust from all your rain
All your rain

So drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it
(So drain it) so drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it
(You've got to drain it)

I didn't think to bring a wash cloth or to rub away the dirt
Myself and I, we share this barely-beating heart of hurt

And when the hurt comes there's an argument
A fight to save a smile
A small attack on human tears to dry them for a while

A dream we all should count on, yeah, a vision I believe
In where confidence is found attached to wires on our sleeve

In where loneliness is history
Told to pack his shit and leave
And where guidance is a fortune told to help in time of need

And where crying isn't secret, it's the art of how we grieve
And lessons are the key to every goal I will achieve, I will achieve

So drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it
(So drain it) so drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it
(You've got to drain it)

So drill it, so drill it, so hard
(So drain it) so drill it, so drill it, so hard
(You've got to drain it)
