Wake in the water with the light turned sick
Key drain mouth clicks
Two chains singing from opposite walls
One dead witness in the middle of it all
Tile sweats rust in the fluorescent hum
Clock face grins like a loaded gun
A tape in the hand of a body gone still
Turns the err into law, turns fear into will
Clock on the wall with a surgeon’s stare
Recorder clicks and infects the air
It names thy sins in a patient voice
Then calls the trap a kind of choice
Every clue has a hook
Every truth has a knife
Every second in the dark says
Prove you want your life
Choose, choose, choose what you lose
Blood on the floor or your life is through
Most people are ungrateful to be alive
So bleed for the proof that you want to survive
Choose, choose, choose what you lose
Someone is watching from inside the room
He points like a corpse, like a prop, like a joke
Gun in the red and a recorder invokes
The doctor has a shadow, the camera has a debt
The man with the gun isn’t finished yet
A family screams through a telephone wire
Hope goes thin in the fluorescent fire
Six o’clock comes like a closing jaw
And mercy is a blade with a broken saw
Every clue has a hook
Every truth has a knife
Every second in the dark says
Trade your body for your life
Choose, choose, choose what you lose
Blood on the floor or your life is through
Most people are ungrateful to be alive
So bleed for the proof that you want to survive
Choose, choose, choose what you lose
Someone is watching from inside the room
No clean way out
No clean way through
The room keeps asking what pain can prove
No clean way out
No innocent noise
Blood makes the key when you make your choice
Metal jaw, open wide
Timer crawling up the spine
Hands are shaking, blade goes in
Key in the body, key in the sin
Click by click, the mercy lies
Springs like halos by the eyes
One last second, one last noise
Live through horror, call it choice
Choose, choose, choose what you lose
Blood on the floor or your life is through
Most people are ungrateful to be alive
So bleed for the proof that you want to survive
Choose, choose, choose what you lose
Someone is watching from inside the room
