Rude Awakening

Bleeding me dry, emptying everything Pushing my buttons to see which one will explode Shoving me aside to see how it takes for to to erode Digging a mote to watch me swim with the alligators Tossing in a harpoon to make it seem you're trying to save me Stabbing at my chest to see if you can hit my heart Watching me struggle seems to make you excited I can see the look on your face the way you smile You never really cared for anybody else I could climb from the ditch and follow you home But I think I'd rather stay and get eaten alive The water is nice and warm and the color is beautiful The beasts around me keep me warmer than you could ever do If you want to know where I'll be tonight I will be standing by your bedside holding a gators head The blood you saw me swimming in wasn't mine When you wake up in the morning I will be gone You will be filled with dread and will be welcomed by a gators smile
