Two slaps
------------

I see her pass through soul after soul
her love is conditional, day in and day out
yet somehow she keeps making me crawl
and the thought of her still gets me to shout

she's got fingers that rip the joy out of living
lips that can kiss my sleeping away
laughter that's rare, and so unforgiving
still her eyes leave me no choice but to stay

she always knows when to write that note
to make me catch a little taste of the sky
then by no accident she hands me the rope
planning my death as I kiss her goodbye

the train of sanity leaves at noon
wish I could get a ride and escape
but she won't let go of my dependence so soon
always nice when you have someone to rape

"you're one in a milion, but get back in line"
miss "loving is bleeding" won't tell me no lies
no point in believing revenge will be mine
eternally caught in her icy glassed eyes

it takes me hours, but the tears do dry off
maybe she's right, and pain is my way
another night ends, as I turn back and forth
just two slaps and I am ready, for the pain of today
