Stockholm Syndrome
(Here we go!)
I was wading in Bog water up to my neck
I was drowning in loathing, and self-disrespect
Just a speck, an insect; an iota of what I could be
But those chains that I wore, still carry them in my mind
Though it seems you and I are cut from a different kind
Of cloth, then a swath of locusts came to eat my flesh
Because he'll lay you down to sleep
(Lay me down to sleep)
He'll pray your soul will weep
(Pray my soul will weep)
He'll promise you're in too deep
To claw your way out
No way, no how
You'll begging at his feet
(Begging at my feet)
With cries of gnashing teeth
(Cries of gnashing teeth)
Your maker, you'll never meet
Because a thousand gods couldn't save you from him now
So forever I wander, ever-weary to roam
Because it's the Stockholm Syndrome that keeps me coming home
All alone, like a stone, I will roll from this tumbler to tomb
Yeah, you're skating on thin ice with blades on fire
You're on a one-way street with a bald-out tire
You're on a seven-mile bridge coasting on fumes
You ride a dark-coat horse whose breath grunts "doom"
Yes, she'll lay you down to sleep
(Lay me down to sleep)
She'll pray your soul will weep
(Pray my soul will weep)
She'll promise you're in too deep
To claw your way out
No way, no how
You'll be begging at her feet
(Begging at my feet)
With cries of gnashing teeth
(Cries of gnashing teeth)
Your maker, you'll never meet
Because a thousand gods couldn't save you
A thousand gods couldn't save you from her now
Yes I will lay you down to sleep
(Lay me down to sleep)
I'll pray your soul will weep
(Pray my soul will weep)
I'll promise your in too deep
To claw your way out
No way, no how
Yes, you'll be begging at my feet
(Begging at my feet)
With cries of gnashing teeth
(Cries of gnashing teeth)
Your maker, you'll never meet
Because a thousand gods couldn't save you
A thousand gods shouldn't save you
No, a thousand gods won't save you from me now!
I was wading in Bog water up to my neck
I was drowning in loathing, and self-disrespect
Just a speck, an insect; an iota of what I could be
But those chains that I wore, still carry them in my mind
Though it seems you and I are cut from a different kind
Of cloth, then a swath of locusts came to eat my flesh
Because he'll lay you down to sleep
(Lay me down to sleep)
He'll pray your soul will weep
(Pray my soul will weep)
He'll promise you're in too deep
To claw your way out
No way, no how
You'll begging at his feet
(Begging at my feet)
With cries of gnashing teeth
(Cries of gnashing teeth)
Your maker, you'll never meet
Because a thousand gods couldn't save you from him now
So forever I wander, ever-weary to roam
Because it's the Stockholm Syndrome that keeps me coming home
All alone, like a stone, I will roll from this tumbler to tomb

She'll promise you're in too deep

You'll be begging at her feet
(Begging at my feet)

A thousand gods couldn't save you from her now

(Pray my soul will weep)

To claw your way out
No way, no how
Yes, you'll be begging at my feet
(Begging at my feet)
With cries of gnashing teeth
(Cries of gnashing teeth)
Your maker, you'll never meet
Because a thousand gods couldn't save you
A thousand gods shouldn't save you
No, a thousand gods won't save you from me now!
