In a raspy voice:

What is with this cyst?
Now I can't sing this
My manager wants me to sing loud
But this is as loud as I get
And for surgery, I can't pay
But maybe Smith can, maybe Smith can

"Desperation, try to sing it"
I tell him I'm low
(Oh, I'm too lo-oh-ow)
Is throat surgery
Necessary?
How much would I owe
IF I MUST PAY THE BILL?

What I did was wrong
Now my voice is gone
Now it's just an echo
When I try to sing my song
All the notes that I can't hit now
Now I regret it, I remember

"Desperation, try to sing it"
I tell him I'm low
(Oh, I'm too lo-oh-ow)
Is throat surgery
Necessary?
How much would I owe
IF I MUST PAY THE BILL?

I wait
In the OR
for...
for my surgery
DON'T YOU TOUCH ME!

I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT THIS
TORTURES ME!
HAVE I CREATED THE SUFFERING!?
SHOW ME!

Or do you happily cut, further in?
to sever what's left inside, that binds me.

(Jade Puget's "violin" solo)

Now all I feel is...

Apprehension, nervous tension
Can I sing right now ( I sing right no-ah-ow)
In isolation
I have waited
for this time to come
AND NOW I'M FUCKING SCARED!

Apprehension, nervous tension
Can I sing right now ( I sing right no-ah-ow)
In isolation
I have waited
for this time to come
AND NOW I'M FUCKING SCARED,SO SCARED!
