Lost in the words I never should have said.
Hiding from the monster underneath my bed.
Spinning round in circles 'till I fall down.
If I said that everything's all right,
Could it be true at least for tonight?
We can worry all about the rest tomorrow.
Feeling the crack
Hearing me wail
Your words sting
Just like a cat o' nine tails.
Lost and confused
Sure that I'll fail
Losing it all to the
Cat o' nine tails.
I stand here dazed reeling from the sting.
Dizzy from the screams that make my ears ring.
Blinded by the venom that you spit at me.
I reach out and try to compromise.
You take my concessions as a prize.
I give ground 'till there's no more to give.
Feeling the crack
Hearing me wail
Your words sting
Just like a cat o' nine tails.
Lost and confused
Sure that I'll fail
Losing it all to the
Cat o' nine tails.
