Lyrics:
Verse1:
I'll warn you, if cornered, I'll scratch my way out of the pen
Wired, an animal. The claustrophobia begins
You think I'm scared of girls, Well maybe
But I'm not afraid of you
You want to scare me then you'll cling to me no matter what I do
Verse2:
Tell you a secret They shared a needle once or twice
I loved her, she loved me We slept together a couple of times
You think I'm proud of this, Well maybe
But the shame you never lose
Infatuated with a lunatic and cornered by the muse
Chorus1:
And it goes down every niiiiiight
This must be what jail is really liiiiiike
And I will scratch my way out of this peeeeeen, again
Verse part1
Verse3:
Lonely? Maybe Or maybe not, It all depends
Your ideal, your image Your definition of a friend
If what you're shoveling is company
Then I'd rather be alone
Resentment always goes much further than it was supposed to go
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse1 until "an animal".
end on C#m
