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
