lyrics

You wanted me to serve as sweetener in your tea
to tame when bitter tannins soured
to cheer you up in your dark hours

For me you offered safe security
said if I'd only have eyes for you
then you would keep an eye on me

You wanted me to serve as sweetener in your tea
to tame when bitter tannins soured
to cheer you up in your dark hours

But your home had only windows and no doors
located on the 13th floor
you locked me up there like a whore

More times than I can count on hands or toes
I thought of leaping to the ground
watching trees rise as I fell down

Instead I swarmed when the summer weather warmed
out the window a dark cloud
I blocked the sun out like a shroud

You wanted me to serve as sweetener in your tea
to tame when bitter tannins soured
to cheer you up in your dark hours
