Hide your rage deep inside your cage But don’t remain locked up forever You’ve been used and abused for a lifetime This lifeline, you must sever Now watch the student become the fucking master Watch your world become fucking disaster You know it’s only a matter of time Before they’re done with you It’s a fools game, only yourself to blame Now when I look in your eyes It just ain’t the same You’re just a straw dog Crushed by the apathy, decayed by the shame Broke the foundation of trust Burnt it all to dust, left to rust You’re just a straw dog Crushed by the reality they don’t know your name These dogs will roam in a pack And plan their deadly attack And it ain’t hard to see These dogs are coming for me Just like a man, and his desire Trapped inside his guilt filled mind This caged bird, this house on fire Full of uncertainty Beg for forgiveness Beg for your soul Slipped from your hands Now you’re losing control When you broke this bond of trust You burnt it all to dust, left to rust Broke the foundation of trust Burnt it all to dust, left to rust
