Where Do I take this pain of mine?I run but it stays right by my side
Just Like a curse just like a stray,You feed it once and now it stays
So tell me why you´ve chosen me,Don´t want your grip don´t want your greed

UNTIL IT SLEEPS
(Hetfield/Ulrich)

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open and 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 a 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
Now tear me open make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone,
And the fear still shakes 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

Don´t want it want it want it want it 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 till I´m clean

Now tear me open make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone,
And the hate still shapes me,
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps, until it sleeps
