I’m stuck in the cage
Of an insecure spouse,
Waiting for him to unlock
It to set me free.
His superior mind keeps
Me from the escape.

As he’s celebrating the display
In his delicate cage,
Here I am while the light
Shines on me.

With no way out, I see
Everyone with joyous smiles,
Dancing their dances.
As I try to escape to freedom,
The arrows of his harsh words
Come bashing against my will.
As I pray to get out,
The lock tightens with
Every thought.
Nothing special
     Dailiness
          Sigh.
Morphine's album
YES!
Has a place in my heart
That's is smothered in pride
Listened to it constantly
In 96 in Glasgow
When hard work
Was along for the ride

Ripping the guts
Out of a IT company
Partition walls and ceilings
Fell before my sledgehammer
Right in front o me

Chewing hash
And snorting scotch
Were  the orders of the day
Once the dust had settled
And we'd drawn all our pay

I'd never seen so many places
To sentimentally sing
Chemically altered karaoke
Is one hell of a thing.
I really crave a life
in which I am not mad
at the days of the week.
I swam in the monotony
I drowned in waves of sand
That slipped right through my fingers
Of a strong yet poultry hand
I grip from muscle memory
On to anything I can
Then I ripped it from the depths of hell
When I finally took a stand
This is nothing too remarkable
Of this, I understand
But I was just a little boy
That one day became a man
Teaching oneself
is much harder
than teaching others:
there will be excuses
for not being diligent
I keep asking myself,
Why is he doing this to me?
He knows this kills me.
He knows I’m lonely and
heart broken for him.
He claims he loves me
but he doesn’t show it,
at all.
I’ve seen him and
have only spoken to him
for one hour this week.

I don’t understand why
I’m never enough.
I don’t understand why
he treats me like this
