The Enemy Smacks Lyrics - Iq

Helplessly held by the weeds, we are grown, 

I tried talking sense to you, leave it alone; 

I give in to the weight of the kick, 

So weary of waiting and hoping for this, 

The two of us alone, no-one else to see, 

I promise not to miss you and no more jealousy. 

Careful of my gender, it comes, how it goes, 

Love me tender so nobody knows, 

Nobody knows the trouble I seen, 

Each time they asked, I said something obscene, 

The splinters shower down, I shelter from the rain, 

Against the grain, against the moon, 

I waxes and I wanes. 

No ecstacy sent for taking a line, 

Right through the tokehead they rip, run and shine; 

I awake and the feeling won't drop, 

Each time they slam down, I swear I will stop, 

The two of us alone, no-else to see, 

The damage brings us closer to murder, can't you see? 

Here in my rocking-horse house, 

I keep the curtains drawn; 

Inside my little head, 

I hear them screaming out my name. 

Here in my rocking-horse room, 

I keep my syes shut tight: 

Inside my peeping-holes, 

I know that if they're empty I can sleep. 

Don't you believe her, deliver a shiver to me, 

Is this what you wanted? 

I'm haunted, my eyes grown cold. 

I still got second sight, 

I still can see at night. 

Here comes the enemy, the beast in me, 

Alive a little more, 

On my hard shoulder, 

The warning goes deeper than before. 

I still got second sight, 

I still can see at night.
