[Lyrics]
 
You're gonna break your hand
Tell me not to fight anymore
But I feel yellow as a coward
Pale as a flickering bulb
(At) the outside of a liquor store
So knock me out again
Count backwards from ten
As I relay the colours as they appear to me
At the bottom of a cement floor
 
And do you see...
Me?
Anymore?
 
'Cause oh how far do you think I can go?
Beneath before you won't follow me there
 
I don't understand
I know last time I swore
Not to make a scene and now I'm wandering into traffic screaming
Set me on fire in the middle of the street
Bend my knees and paint the concrete
The colour of my bloody knuckles
Pulling splinters from the chapel door
 
And do you see...
Me?
Anymore?
 
'Cause oh how deep do you think I can go?
Beneath before you won't follow me down to the centre of a black hole
A ruin centre and a wasted soul
 
And I want you
And I want you
Wanna let you break my heart
I wanna let you break my heart
And I wanna let you break my heart
And I wanna let you break my heart
And I wanna let you rake me

I think you pretty much nailed it. Nice turnaround time, too!

The part marked as instrumental is incorrect, but verses and otherwise look pretty good
