LYRICS:
As I've been forced to
become reliant on you,
I can't make sense of being alone
So if I spoke, would you throw this old dog a bone?

Carry on by my command
Your being lies within my hands
Reject the hunger that keeps you alive,
I'm never going to let you die anyway

When anyone could look at you now,
pacing, aimless in your cell,
as your complexion disappears
because you're never getting out of here

It's not hard to see that I have been
trying so hard to die within
this cage you've put me into
just to see me need you
So what's the point not eating out your hand?
Make no mistake - he turns his back
on being the lion to become your housecat

Bleary phantom in the glass,
habit seems more foreign concept
A million years, and you're what's left
Without me you would never last

So be content with what you have:
a pale portrait of the past,
four-by-five under blue sky
a model of a paradise

It's not hard to see that I have been
trying so hard to die within
this cage you've put me into
just to see me need you
So what's the point not eating out your hand?
Make no mistake - he turns his back
on being the lion to become your housecat
