lyrics

I cleaned my scalpel in my coffee yesterday,
I think the iron and caffeine saw me to my break,

You make me sick,
To keep you well,
You make me sick,
Until I'm jealous of hell,

I don't have the time,
For little death and heavy breath,
While every waking night,
I'm losing a weighted fight,

I know you're sick but so am I,
It's just not in a clear cut way,
At least visiting hours allow you to see,
Your family every day,

I live to save lives,
But I'd kill to lie down,
I live to save lives,

You make me sick,
To keep you well,
You make me sick,
Until I'm jealous of hell,

I don't have the time,
For little death or heavy breath,
While every waking night,
I'm losing a weighted fight,

I might make the wrong cuts,
But they made the wrong cuts,
I might make the wrong cuts,
But they made the wrong cuts,
I might make the wrong cuts,
But they made the wrong cuts,
I might make the wrong cuts,
But they made the wrong cuts,

You make me sick,
To keep you well,
You make me sick,
Until I'm jealous of hell,

I don't have the time,
For little death or heavy breath,
While every waking night,
Every waking night,
Every waking night,
I'm losing a weighted fight,
