A Longer Leash Lyrics & Chords By Nothing Painted Blue

Not to coin a phrase/but play it as it lays

Make them think you're safe in your restraints

Not to tip my hand/but all these false demands

Misdirect from what I really want

And how much I really want

I see a jar of pills and a bottle of bleach

I want all of one or a little of each

They give me a longer leash but I keep straining

I know they check the beds/when we're fucked on meds

That's why I keep your picture in my pants

But they don't have a clue/what I intend to do

When we sneak out from the Easter dance

So I'll tell you in advance

I want to lead you once more into the breach

Pierce you like the flesh of a peach

They give me a longer leash but I keep straining

Why be brave

When fear is all you have?

Why be saved?

There's nothing to forgive

Why behave

As if the life you live

Requires explaining?

I see a jar of pills and a bottle of bleach

A golden ocean just out of reach

They give me a longer leash but I keep straining
