Why would you want to escape? Already made the accommodations. For you to stay The ropes are tight But if you give it a couple of days You'll see that it's better this way I'll keep you safe Locked away From the bad dreams Said that you'd rather be dead Been more than merciful I'm keeping you healthy and fed Keep you alive I know that it can be hard at the start Your eyes will adjust to the dark Steady till death Stops the beating Of your heart Cast aside your memories Cause soon I know You'll learn to love me You're mine No way you'll desert me Cause soon I know You'll learn to love me Seems you've been trying to leave Maybe it's time I take a hammer To both of your knees Now you can choose A life of pain and sedation Or be complacent Whatever you please I'll keep you safe Locked away From the bad dreams Look at the mess that you made I see the color of your skin is beginning to fade Your lips are cold and turning blue But I'm happy to say I'm loving the way that they taste Oddly enough You're more beautiful This way Cast aside your memories Cause soon I know You'll learn to love me You're mine No way you'll desert me Cause soon I know You'll learn to love me Cast aside your memories Cause soon I know You'll learn to love me You're mine No way you'll desert me Cause soon I know You'll learn to love me Why did you want to escape? Already made the accommodations For you to stay The ropes were tight But if you gave it a couple of days You'd see it was better that way I kept you safe Locked away From the bad dreams Said you would rather be dead Was more than merciful By keeping you healthy and fed Kept you alive I knew that it would be hard at the start Your eyes would adjust to the dark Steady till death Stopped the beating Of your heart
