Ringfinger

well you've got me working so hard lately
working my hands until they bleed
if i was twice the man i could be
i'd still be half of what you need
still you lead me and i follow
anything you ask you know i'll do
this one act of consecration is what i ask of you

ringfinger
promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me

well you just leave me nailed here
hanging like Jesus on this cross
i'm just dying for your sins
and aiding to the cause

ringfinger
promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone
offer it to me

wrap my eyes in bandages
confessions i see through
i get everything i want
when i get part of you

ringfinger
promise carved in stone
it's deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me
ringfinger
a promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
devil's flesh and bone
do something for me

That’s what I get

just when everything was making sense
you took away all my self-confidence
now all that i've been hearing must be true
i guess i'm not the only boy for you

but that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get

how can you turn me into this?
after you just taught me how to kiss you
i told you i'd never say goodbye
now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry

but that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get

why's it come as a surprise
to think that i was so naive
maybe didn't mean that much
but it meant everything to me

that's what i get
