The Cure

You came knocking at my door
We know what you've come here for
Too sick for your mind to ignore
That I own you and have the cure

I'll give you wings and fill your breath
Take your life and give you death
And I'll take till nothing's left

Tomorrow you may recall
Yesterday wasn't there at all
Time left you when you were small
Now there's no one left to call

I'll let you hold the horses mane
Chase the dragon breathing flames
But I'm not for you to blame

Oh ma, I just want to go home
Somewhere, somewhere that I belong
Dream, dream
Unravel yourself at the seems
Until you have nothing to lose

You came around my back door
I don't live here anymore
The aftermath looks like a war
Holes in the walls and the floors

I've moved away
This is my game
You'll find me if you call my name
And I'll answer without shame

You moved to another town
To fix up and fall back down
Now you wear a golden crown
That gives you courage
But keeps you bound to sleeping near my back door
Not for the view, but for a score
It's become hard to ignore
That I own you and have the cure
You lost your dreams and self control
Gave your body and your soul
All your tears I will console

Oh ma, I just want to go home
Somewhere, somewhere that I belong
Dream, dream
Unravel yourself at the seems
Until you have nothing to lose
