Lay Off of Me

You are under his roof now... Deny it not You are his own comforter Lay off of me, you stubborn child - LEAVE ME!! You feel perfect When he's near... When I appear... You draw back in fear... You are his property now It's SO true - You are a selfish, little liar You burn me like flames You called me nasty names Your image transformed to shame You witch! I was caught under your spell... You dwell... IN DARKNESS... Down you go in the abyss You are so insidious.... Frankly, you've done enough damage While I tried my hardest to break free From the bondage You dwell in the shadows With the predator... Lay off of me, YOU total disaster Obey your master - the devil...
