I use these words as my safe haven
They cradle me to my sleep
They appear in my dreams
And sweep me off my feet,damn these words they know me
These words they make me feel so free
To the point I rely on them so I don't have to speak
They tell me I'm so sweet like a decadent cherry on top of a treat
My happiest moments are when these words let me be
But these are the words that robbed me of my peace
They placed me under arrest
And told me to lay down and not get back on my feet
They convinced me that the only way out was to accept defeat
These words put me in a choke hold
They slammed me against the wall until my throat hurt
They suffocated me to the point I was too weak
These words told me not to dare speak
With no contest I felt the descent
I plead guilty to letting these words use me
I wasn't in control and so these words knew
How to use me until I felt so drained
My very own words locked me up inside a cage

I use these words as my safe haven

And sweep me off my feet,damn these words they know me
These words they make me feel so free
To the point I rely on them so I don't have to speak
They tell me I'm so sweet like a decadent cherry on top of a treat
My happiest moments are when these words let me be
But these are the words that robbed me of my peace
They placed me under arrest
And told me to lay down and not get back on my feet
They convinced me that the only way out was to accept defeat
These words put me in a choke hold
They slammed me against the wall until my throat hurt
They suffocated me to the point I was too weak
These words told me not to dare speak
With no contest I felt the descent
I plead guilty to letting these words use me
I wasn't in control and so these words knew
How to use me until I felt so drained
My very own words locked me up inside a cage
