Take My Life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognize
People I care for
Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze
Please just be there for me
The things that I know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That I cannot find
Inside my head
Wake me with love
It's all, all I need
But in all this time
Still no one said
If I had not asked you
Would you have told me
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot get my eyes open
Make love to me, send love through me
Make love to me please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me
We've wasted so much time
So much time
Of my life
My life
My life
My life
Take my life
Take my life
Take my life
Take my life
Eyes open
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognize
People I care for
Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze
Please just be there for me
The things that I know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That I cannot find
Inside my head
Wake me with love
It's all, all I need
But in all this time
Still no one said
If I had not asked you
Would you have told me
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot get my eyes open
Make love to me, send love through me
Make love to me please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me
We've wasted so much time
So much time
Of my life
My life
My life
My life
Take my life
Take my life
Take my life
Take my life
Eyes open

On the other hand, this song is part of 'Older', which opens with 'Jesus to a child', which he reportedly dedicates to Anselmo, and so the second part, where he talks about not finding a person that says 'I love you' back to him and 'wakes' him from this state with the aid of love, might be him just missing his lover, taking to him, trying to move on but not being very successful.
