They come with iron needles
Meant to cause me awful pain
Then they take my blood away
Probably to consume it.
This bitter taste
This putrid stench
Still they make me
Swallow it all again.
You told me not to fear them
That they would take care of me
But now I know that it’s not true
I wonder if you pushed too hard.
Mint green rooms to trap us in
But I am not the sick man
That they portray me to be
All I want is to be home again.
This bitter taste
This putrid stench
Still they make me
Swallow it all again.
I don’t know who called them
But I believe that it was you.
I don’t blame you for doing it
Because of the fear that I caused you.
I wish that I wasn’t so helpless
That I could be myself once again
And see the world through better eyes
As they knock me down again.
This bitter taste
This putrid stench
Still they make me
Swallow it all again.
And so I swallow it all again.
