Death by 1000 Papercuts

I'm waiting on the edge Of some place I can't explain I'm taken by the pain Of something I can't escape Show me half a truth Make a monster out of you Come to give myself away To the beauty and abuse It's death by 1000 papercuts It's a death by 1000 papercuts Forgiving the thoughts I've banned I've come to know the whippings and the lashes I've borrowed from the outside Show me half a truth (Show me) Make a monster out of you (Monster) Come to give myself away (Give me) I'm pushed to live and die for just another day It's death by 1000 papercuts It's a death by 1000 papercuts Yeah it's death by 1000 papercuts It's a death by 1000 papercuts Slip once, slip a thousand times Hang on to the merry go round No must, no should or try This pulse it just happens And everything keeps happening Within me, without me Within me, without me Within me, without me Within me, without me Death! Death! Death! Death! Death! Death! It's a death by 1000 papercuts It's death by 1000 papercuts I'm turning with the world If there's anything I've learned Is that nothing burns forever
