i hear the phone ringing every saturday night
you say you want to check on me
know if everything is o'rite
but how long has it been since we really spoke
i strive to recall
but honestly I dont
ah! mommy dearest why cant we break the spell
just cut the cord , snap the thread
cos i am sick and tired of the lies you insist i spread
wrapped up in your delusions of my designer lifestyle
this story of "happily everafter" only takes place inside your head
as you slowly poison my life with your dreams of happiness
always accusing me of being the proverbial black sheep
dont you see??
i am only a scapegoat to your fantasies
you manipulate me through your weekly calls
feeding me self righteous bullshit across the phone
corrupting my mind with your fears
crushing my free-will to break these bonds
how can everything seem so perfect to you
when it is rotten
i dont understand
am I never to speak of what really happens
for fear of driving you insane ????
