Syncopate
Some Sink into
  Situations
So heartbreaking
you take me into your arms
And your harsh tongue
tricks me into thinking
That I am home, I'm safe
OH SAVE IT!
This is you trying to tame me,
Into a timid pet
That obeys
Always available to play with
Or take frustrations out on
At the end of a long day
STILL
These strings keep me from leaving
And keepsakes mean more to me
Than the morning sun
Stealing my peace
Must be more fun
Than protecting me
Or respecting my freedom
  The others won't hold me
In such high esteem
