| Please give me something to calm me down, | |
| cause I can't seem to hold it off. | |
| You're under my skin, | |

| The fuse is lit, and someone needs to stop it | |
| not just watch it, take our hands out of our pockets. | |
| How much do we want it? | |
| The fuse skips, like the sparks in my veins, | |
| the latter stages of frustration | |
| making blood tick in my brain | |
| like tick tick, time's nearly up, tock, | |
| soon there'll be nothing to salvage, nothing to count up, | |
| nothing to hope for, nothing but outrage. | |
| Things are volatile, we're close to detonation | |
| and instead of walking away from the red mist | |
| I'm inhaling. | |
| Please give me something to calm me down, | |
| cause I can't seem to hold it off. | |

| You're under my skin, | |
| and I'm not ready to give in. | |
| My fists are clenched, nails cutting flesh. | |
| This has to last at least another night, it's not over yet! | |
| I'll fight for now with split knuckles, | |
| and smooth over rough edges | |
| with sleepless-night sandpaper stubble. | |
| Anxious not to smash the cracked glass when I speak. | |
| There's only so long I'll go on grinding my teeth. | |
| I'm tired, but I won't admit defeat | |
| until the whole thing shatters | |
| and we're all left in pieces. | |
| It's brittle, but I'll battle while nothing's been broken, | |
| It's not over yet. | |
| We can handle the fractures, | |
| they're nobody's fault lines. | |
| It's not over yet. | |
| We're close to the brink. | |
| It's not over yet. | |
| Nothing we can't fix, | |
| It's not over yet. | |
| And we may be down but it's not over yet | |
| cause we'll never be out. | |
| Please give me something to calm me down, | |
| cause I can't seem to hold it off. | |
| You're under my skin, | |
