lyrics

Affliction #1

You got me tight, trussed up
Breathing in defiance of your coy constriction
You took away my crowning glory
Left me in meted out restriction
And I always seem OK
Till you get bored and want to play
Pin the pain on the extremity

And it's never been my philosophy
To change my behavior for a stab in the dark
Overhaul my life when success isn't even guaranteed
I'll keep drinking and dancing in the face of you
Eating and tearing around
Unless you put me in the ground
Why even bother

You could leave at any time
You've left before
Hug me like Violet's punishing corset
Then recede like these end-of-autumn trees
