Drag Me Down Slowly
Take small offenses deep to heart
let all resentments boil and fester
Tend with care the growing hate
until you'll bear the load no longer
Seize careless phrases or random words
read looks on faces as you'd a book
Imagine the worst of every person
until you'll burst with silent rage
Now drag me down into your pit
and make me drown inside of it
But do it slow, so I will feel
that what you know is oh, so real
