There's a shadow in the hole
Where my door used to be
You never give up
You want more out of me
Come on in
Help yourself
Scratch around
Look at these empty shelves
Nothing left that I can see
Except a string of beads
And some old potpourri
You rip flesh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone
I will consider a life of crime
So I can feed these kids of mine
And should I falter
Shold I fail
Spend the rest of my days
In some stinking jail
I will know who left me empty inside
Stripped of my dignity
Low and dry
You left me nothing
But I don't care
You rip flesh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone
You robbed my blind without a gun
How can you sleep after what you've done
There's nothing but darkness deep in your soul
There's no reflection, it's dark and it's cold
You rip flesh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone
