Oh neglect me my dear My brambles grow thick in your absence So next time you try to cut me down Your blades will blunten on my branches
You wound the vice one turn too tight Too much pressure makes a lesser fool out of me You bent the bars one inch too far Now they’re gaping I’m escaping, who needs a key? I’m long gone
Oh insult me my dear And like a sponge I’ll absorb But when I’ve soaked all I can hold On your head like a rain cloud I’ll pour
You wound the vice one turn too tight Too much pressure makes a lesser fool out of me You bent the bars one inch too far Now they’re gaping I’m escaping, who needs a key? I’m long gone
And you’re gonna cry like a mourner
And I’m done cowering in corners Slowly and surely I’ll saw through your sordid sob stories I’m long gone
You wound the vice one turn too tight Too much pressure makes a lesser fool out of me You bent the bars one inch too far Now they’re gaping I’m escaping, who needs a key? I’m long gone
