Let's tap your heart so we can paint the walls
   And see if anybody likes the tone or the pain
   The hungry eyes waiting for life flash
   Now they're gonna see it
  
   Open your veins so we can make a pool and bathe
   And see if anyone complains of the stain
   Let's strip you down so we can see your old scars
   Now you're gonna feel it
  
   Show me how to shine now
   Have you ever turned to dust?
   I saw an insect learn to fly, its form was scorned
   Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flies?
   I saw it stay in sovereignty
  
   Have you lost the sense of touch?
   Have you ever turned to dust?
   Let's lift you up so we can see how fast you fall
   We always thought that you could fly, now you'll crawl
  
   The lack of loyalty you thought you once felt
   Now you're gonna feel it
   Now show me how to shine
