Watch Me Now, I'm Calling

I'm closing up, I'm shutting down, I took a vow of silence

You won't hear me from now on, you'll only see the violence

I put some water into a pot and brought it to a boil

I poured it on my arm without any reflex of recoil

I made sure it'd miss my hand 'cause I need it to play in a band

I thought I would scream but I didn't feel a thing

Then I took some ice and the sharpest knife

And brought 'em to my room

I sat there thinking of you and what I ought to do

Then I picked a spot and numbed it up

'Cause carving can take some time

Then I dug your name out of my skin

'Cause in my head, you're in my mind, mind

Wo, I realized with some urgency, that all this is child's play

I need to learn to speak in a more effective way

But just what is the desired effect and why have I been stalling?

I want you to feel it, watch me now, I'm calling

Over at the hospital, they will dress my wounds

But they won't really heal until they're touched by you
