A life once lived behind closed doors,

Feel it ripping me down.

The inquiry of Ms. Terri,

The expiry of misery,

The table turns, the sun along,

Her object of affection,

Conflicted by convictions of indecency, sorority,

Corrupted by impropriety.

The boy who grows, with knife in hand,
Gm F
To fend for her, becomes a man
Eb
While she plays fake affection,
Cm
And carefully lacks objection,
D
To her gentleman caller's twisted desire.
[Chorus]

I'm simply lying to them too
