Filthy finger

I’d love to escape, I know it feels right
I know I’ll lose if I don’t try
Why can’t I try
Leave the lineup and walk right by
All the flock, the pack, the herd
Away, aside
Start something new, a brand new kind
Maybe then I’ll sleep better at night
All it takes is just a little might

All I know is you’ve got me wrapped around your filthy finger
All I want is to cut that thread
With time it gets meaner
It seems I love to linger

You feel drained, unconscious at times
Unable to put up a fight
‘Cause everything that surrounds you
Constantly blocks your light
You might as well be blind
Your excuse will sure as hell beat mine
Yet nothing is fine
And comfort still remains a lie

All I know is you’ve got me wrapped around your filthy finger
All I want is to cut that thread
With time it gets meaner
It seems I love to linger
