Hold my heart in your cold clenched fist, and squeeze until you bleed me dry
Take what you will of my life force, and leave the pain behind
You would take it all from me, and only leave my suffering
Why not take my hope, you demon, you are welcome to that now

You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, you my crying
You my daybreak, you my sunset
You my living, you my dying

Twist the threads much tighter, and to you my last breath will belong
You will know my broken form will honour you forevermore
I would give my life to you, my dreams, my talents are forgotten
What a trophy to inscribe beside the ones who've gone before

You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, you my crying
You my daybreak, you my sunset
You my living, you're my dying

You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, you my crying
You my daybreak, you my sunset
You my living, you're my dying

Lace your kiss with cyanide, and plant it when I contradict you
Razor-sharp are fingernails that trace a line to yielding pulse
Shower me with useless gifts, I'll drown in insincerity
Lover, take your love away and use it on yourself
You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, you my crying
You my daybreak, you my sunset
You my living, you're my dying

You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, and my crying
You my daybreak, you my sunset
You my living, you're my dying

You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, and my crying
You my daybreak, you my sunset
You my living, you're my dying

You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, you my crying
You my daybreak, you my sunset
You my living, you're my dying

You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, you my crying
You my daybreak, you my sunset
You're my living, and my dying

You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, and my crying
You're my daybreak, you my sunset
You're my living, you're my dying
You my idol, you my teacher
You my laughter, you my crying
You're my daybreak, you my sunset
You're my living, you're my dying
