Flies alighting in my head
Adolescent precedents
Take another path instead
Catastrophic, hit or miss

Hey, I'm
Rotting in your hands

Try to talk me off the ledge
Sentimental competence
Sit back down and ride the wave
And everything will be okay

Hey, I'm
Rotting in your hands
Hey, I'm
Rotting in your hands

I never wanted you to dig that hole for yourself
I never wanted to be more than anyone else
I'll never understand how quick you'll give it away
Give it away

Hey, I'm
Rotting in your hands
Hey, I'm
Rotting in your hands

I'll fly my own way 'till my last breath

Hey, I'm
Hey, I'm
Hey (till my last breath)
