Until It Sleeps (Live at Slim's, San Francisco, CA - June 10th, 1996)

[Intro]

Y'all doin' alright?

How come?

But— uh—

Y'all talk at once, I can't hear ya

[Verse 1]

Where do I take this pain of mine?

I run but it stays right by my side

[Chorus]

So tear me open, pour me out

There's things inside that scream and shout

And the pain still hates me

So hold me until it sleeps

[Verse 2]

Just like the curse, just like the stray

You feed it once and now it stays

Now it stays

[Chorus]

So tear me open, but beware

There's things inside without a care

And the dirt still stains me

So wash me until I'm clean

It grips you, so hold me

It stains you, so hold me

It hates you, so hold mе

It holds you, so hold me

Until it sleeps

Until it sleeps

[Verse 3]

So tell me why you'vе chosen me?

Don't want your grip, don't want your greed

Don't want it

[Chorus]

I'll tear me open, make you gone

No more can you hurt anyone

And the fear still shakes me

So hold me until it sleeps

It grips you, so hold me

It stains you, so hold me, yeah

It hates you, so hold me

It holds you, holds you, holds you

Until it sleeps

Until it sleeps

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Don't want it

I don't want it, want it, want it

Want it, want it, no

[Chorus]

So tear me open, but beware

There's things inside without a care

And the dirt still stains me

So wash me 'til I'm clean

I'll tear me open, make you gone

No longer will you hurt anyone

And the hate still shapes me

So hold me until it sleeps

Until it sleeps

Until it sleeps

[Outro]

Thank you very metal
