You're nothing but a ***** flea to me - Biting my ankles, And gnawing at my feet You refuse my pleas to cease They itch - Oh so uncomfortably I scratch until they bleed The bites are gone now, But my skin - Uneven, blotched in tone - Bear scars of memories Long since past And so I cover them fast Lest I dwell on the contrast They make my tattoos Look a little ugly sometimes Maybe I'll just cover them With more art - Turn something stark Into something lark How about all bite, AND all bark?

Deep in the fields of my nightmare Your face looms from the sky All who meet you must beware or they'll get caught up in your lie But your pretty facade won't fool me, no not anymore Not since that day I opened up the door, And saw you for the man that you truly were Cause even when you said you loved me, you really loved her I was just your toy, to help pass the days You were naught but a boy walking around all in a daze
