lyrics

There's someone, who's keeping you down, there's an awful weight on the head under crown
And see those chains at your feet, watch them climb from from your roots to your neck back down
to your feet in the deep where those snakes all sleep at ease oh please darling please you said you would be fine it was a lie why do you lie

Oh love, you gotta get away, get away
you better run as fast as you can before its too late

Because this man hes gonna use and abuse
hes gonna take you for all that you got til there's nothing left of you left to lose oh still you swear, swear that you're fine

You better get out hold your knife at your side now its due
to be freed from the hilt of your hip so poignant so poignant and so true
and as you feed it to that handsome bastard whos made you so blue
better hit the road change your name and hide it, hide it from all who knew

Oh love, you gotta get away, get away
you better run as fast as you can before its too late

His lust, his evil ways, fingers touch, hands clasped as you pray
begging don't stop hands shake knees quake, you're somewhere between heaven and hell
the sun rose and fell on his face, guiding his hands so swiftly over your waist
the pressure builds spells crawling down your spine before you leave for one last time

There's someone, who's keeping you down, there's an awful weight on the head under crown
and see those chains at your feet, watch them climb from from your roots to your neck back down
