Song lyrics

Send "Until It Sleeps" ringtones to your cell

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by 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 a curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
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

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 chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it

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

It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps...

I don't want it.....NO

So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me til I'm clean

I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps

9 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal for all those quoting " old metallica rules" etc..., it should be known that this is not really "old Metallica", it is an 8 year old song yes, but when u look at a 21(well 24 but no one really knows that), it really isn't very old, check ride the lighting and puppets, and of course kill 'em all-

44 posts	Sounds cool in S&M. This song is a lot faster live than in the Load album. But that's actually a good thing
