Lyrics

I got it all sewn up

A hardened razor cut

Scar map across my body

And you can trace the lines

Through misery's designs

That map across my body

A collage!

I'm all sewn up

A montage!

I'm all sewn up

A random pattern with a needle and thread

The overlapping way diseases are spread to a

Tornado body with a hand grenade head

And the legs of two lovers entwined

Inside I'm hollowed out

Outside's a paper shroud

And all the rest's illusion

That there's a will and soul

That we can wrest control

From chaos and confusion

A collage!

I'm all sewn up

A montage!

I'm all sewn up
