The last time through the chorus, stop on the second chord.

These roads don't lead you anywhere.
Trust me, I've been wondering around for years.
And there are people here who will hold your hand-
But just watch and see if they don't also lick their lips.
They want you, but not like you want them to.

Your grip on beauty only lasts for so long before she slips away.
I know it's cliche.
But no one cares about what's on your insides.
It's your skin they want! That's all you have to give.
It's all you are to them.
It's all you've ever been..

But I will not force myself upon you.
I will only offer you my hand while you choose to drown.

Go on, try it for yourself.
I see the hunger in your eyes.
I was there not so long ago, so I won't be too quick to pick up my stones.

I will not force myself upon you.
I will only offer you my hand- you must make your own choice.
Choose today who you will follow.
I am love, and I am the only place you'll ever truly feel at rest.
Isn't that what you've told me?
So why do I still choose to drown?
