    LYRICS (unofficial)
    Don't wanna hear your voice
    Don't really know if I have a choice
    Don't wanna be the one that makes you forget
    
    You're choking on regret
    You're choking on death
    
    Don't think we've ever met
    Don't think you offered up a God-given name
    Who did the talking then, the whip or the chain?
    You got pleasure from the sentence of pain
    But then they get you with the burden of shame
    The true measure if the one that remains
    
    Don't wanna... don't wanna...
    Don't wanna be your cane
    Don't wanna be your cane, baby
    
    (very fast wailing sample:
    In a concrete cell, 
    No soul would dare to tell
    She craves to cup his mind
    She makes him give them time
    She likes to throw a whip
    And see a young boy slip
    She likes to see him crawl
    Right up the chamber walls
    When their eyes are covered
    like vultures she hovers
    She gets her love and hate
    When they scream no more
    She gives them just one more
    
    Won't let you kill me just yet
    Don't even care if there's a price on my head
    Don't wanna ID up in a bloody refrain
    
    Don't wanna be your...
    Don't wanna be your cane
    Don't wanna be your cane, baby
    I said, I don't... don't...
    I don't wanna be your cane
