i m holding my last breath it s burning in my lungs clenching up my eyes bloody up my tongue for the words that might escape are ringing in my ears grinds me to a pulp grind me in the gears my frozen spirit aches i slip another day start to lose my grip find another way for the life that might escape has been echoing for years grinds me to a pulp grind me in the gears i ve seen all the faces they mirror me and i ve felt the tearing tearing of the teeth i ve given up my ghosts barely breathe your name offer up myself pray you ll do the same for the love that might escape well that s the biggest fear grinds me to a pulp grind me in the gears
