Metallica — Until It Sleeps

Until It Sleeps

Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run, but it stays right by my side
 
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps
 
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays
 
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean
 
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps
 
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip,
don't want your greed
Don't want it
 
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
 
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, holds you,
holds you until it sleeps
 
I don't want it
 
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me till I'm clean
 
I'll tear me open,
make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
