Until It Sleeps

Metallica

---

 Where do I take this pain of mine I run, 
but it stays right my side 
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 

Just like the curse, just like the stray 
You feed it once, and now it stays 

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 

[Chorus]
It grips you, so hold me 
It stains you, so hold me 
It hates you, so hold me 
It holds you, so hold me 
Until it sleeps

So tell me why you've choosen me 
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed 

 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 

[Chorus]

I don't want it  

So tear me open, but beware 
The things inside without a care 
And the dirt still stains me 
So wash me, 'till I'm clean... 

I'll tear me open, make you gone 
No longer will you hurt anyone 
And the fear still shapes me 
So hold me, until it sleeps... 

Until it sleeps...
