If You Can't Leave It Be Lyrics by Dashboard Confessional

If You Can't Leave It Be

What you found sure upset you
never saw it coming,did you?
it's easy to be suprised with both your eyes sewn closed
handled with great precision
another faultless execution
you're the subject of this exhibition
a willing cadaver, a willing cadaver
scalpelled, sutured, made whole again
these cuts are leaving creases
trace the scars to fit the peices
to tell your story, you don't need to say a word
call off the cavalry
can't save a wretch like me
clean this with kerosene
if you can't leave it be,might as well make it bleed

scalpelled,sutured,made whole again

you're pulse is anemic
you're tired of the fight
you're bruising too easy
and falling behind
and no one is waiting for you
and no one is waiting
no one is waiting for you
for you
for you

Call off the quarantine
Can't save the rest from me
clean this with kerosene
if you can't leave it be might as well make it bleed

your wires and frayed,can't fire right
you look better when out of sight
you were not made to stand and fight
there's something better wrong with you
