Not to coin a phrase/but play it as it lays
Make them think you're safe in your restraints
Not to tip my hand/but all these false demands
Misdirect from what I really want
And how much I really want
I see a jar of pills and a bottle of bleach
I want all of one or a little of each
They give me a longer leash but I keep straining
I know they check the beds/when we're f**ed on meds
That's why I keep your picture in my pants
But they don't have a clue/what I intend to do
When we sneak out from the Easter dance
So I'll tell you in advance
I want to lead you once more into the breach
Pierce you like the flesh of a peach
They give me a longer leash but I keep straining
Why be brave
When fear is all you have?
Why be saved?
There's nothing to forgive
Why behave
As if the life you live
Requires explaining?
I see a jar of pills and a bottle of bleach
A golden ocean just out of reach
They give me a longer leash but I keep straining
