Bite Down Hard

Just put one in my head, I want you to
One in my head, I dare you to
Every day, I live for you
Every breath, I draw for you

Concerning what we began
I lactate and starve
While you’re still waiting for your moment
We could have anything we want
Except a better view
If our lives mean nothing
Then why is it so hard for you

Just put one in my head, I want you to
One in my head, I beg you to
Every day, another flash of hope
And then…
Back to the same old lie

Same layer of paint
Same look on your face while you undress
Like you’re hoping to find something else
Same old sow
Gun locked in the drawer
Its not love but it’s more than we deserve
I’ve been hoping you’d work up the nerve
My sad clown

One in my head, I want you to
One in my head, I dare you to
Every day, I live for you
Every breath, I draw for you

Is there someone here
Trapped inside of your head
Is it strange I can’t remember ever seeing you look satisfied
Underneath
Thirty years of restraint
You’ve been milking your contempt
Until everything shut down

Now my face feels wrong
Petrified by quiet hatred
This house feels wrong
Sucking both of our lives into it
Quietly slowing us down

I could do it myself but I’ll just wait my turn
