Kill the lights, sever all lines,
Lock the doors from deep inside tonight,
No one's home,
No idiot wind,
Soothing din, distracting from the task at hand tonight,
I'll know what I can know.

I'm dying tonight,
I'm taking my time,
Perfection begins when it hurts,
I'm healing in slashes and burns,
And that's how you live with a curse.

To separate, concentrate,
Surrendering through meditation, centring a soul,
A kingdom first, a blade of verse,
Deconstruction in reverse,
What have I ever really known'

I'm dying tonight,
I'm taking my time,
Perfection begins when it hurts,
I'm healing in slashes and burns,
And that's how you live with a curse.

Leave it all behind,
Nothing here is mine, ooh.

But I want it, I need it, nurture and feed it,
Kill my darlings, once and for all time,
Because nothing here is mine,
Nothing here is mine,
I leave it all behind.

I'm dying tonight,
I'm taking my time,
Perfection begins when it hurts,
I'm healing in slashes and burns,
And that's how you live,
That's how you live,
That's how you live with a curse,
And that's how you live,
That's how you live,
That's how you live with a curse.
