Rabid Dog


Bring out the worst in me Things I'd rather forget Rabid Dog memories Wait around to see what you'll get I despise myself What did you think I'd feel For the fool in jesters clothing Trying to force my dog to heal You'll get more than the growl You'll get more than the bite You'll get more than the night mares that keep me awake at night She'll leave you with scars She'll leave you trying to forget All of these things then she'll force you to let Me hurt you ....then soothe you Then burn you and abuse The smiles you force out after all the things you lose You'll cry inside then you'll cry out You'll plead For her to stop You'll want her to leave But you've cut her lose She's off of her chain She revels in the mud and guts And sources of your pain she'll needle and she'll dig She'll watch and observe She's a wise hunter that smells out fear and learns Your darkest desire and then she will deprive The things you want the most , the twinkle in your eyes Steeped in her darkness Once more You'll cry out No one will hear your voice as you attempt to shout For relief ..for rescue ...for a helping hand For your strength to return so that you can stand Against all of her sickness Against all of her hate Against the power she wields over the secrets that you gave But this is what you asked for When you opened the door To the Rabid Dog I've caged up Fool ....you begged for more More is what you'll get ...more then more again Once you're in the muck of it you'll realize you've no hope to win My Rabid Dog is running Through your town and gunning For prey ...for her victims ....looking much like you After all this time ....I thought her reign was through Part of me should thank ....you part of me carries hate For the way that she dominates all my hopeful days You fool you fed her That was all she needs To bust the locks into my thoughts and soak them with her greed I've starved her to derision I've starved her to insane I've starved till she resided in the outskirts off my veins Now she's on the prowl Growling screaming howling Sniffing out my weakness till ...I'm ...in the corner cowering Thank you asshole for all that you have done Thank you for her torture and thank you for her fun Thank you for her anger and thank you for her hate Thank yourself for the miserable existence you now live through Joined in her fate Thank you for my night mare and bringing back to life Something I cut out of myself with the a heated knife Thank you for the monster Thank you for her stench Thank you for my joy and smiles feeling like has beens Fuck you just fuck is all that I have left She's sucked out every other word and every other breath
