Switching Sides

Tugging on my strings Pushing me to the brink of insanity With your endless taunts Your twisted mind games You know the power you hold over me Giving yourself a grandiose view Of your worth to me Assuming that my slavish devotion Means a desire for your heart For it is not amorous love that drives me It is my intense hatred For your suffocating presence That has left me in this state of humble prostration My submissiveness actually liberates me Setting me free From your dominant hand That you have wrapped around my throat Your eyes are blind to the hidden power I possess Your delusions of grandeur Tell you that you have me under your spell While all this time I have been planning my escape From your deadly grip
