Blake Babies - Watch me now, i'm calling lyrics

rate me

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.

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.
