GOOD | BOY (red)

There was a time when I was freshly minted When I didn’t just do what I said, I also meant it You’d say the word, go ahead and forget it Golden retriever with this shit I’d fetch and go get it I wore my heart like a thing that you couldn’t break Never thought everything was a give and take And you brought me new meaning, you got me believing You couldn’t know that it was me I’m deceiving Funny how a good boy turns bad Now I bite back At each and every hand Now this might work If I had a plan But as it stands Was a good boy, now a bad man Got a leash in one hand, and my teeth in the other Sunk in the depths of me, wonder what we will discover Feral depravity, gravity pulling us under All my assumptions have been bruised Egos pulled right asunder I fear the thunder and the storm Wishing for just somewhere warm Some place I can lower hackles Somewhere safe from the harm That I do coz I lived through The breaking of chains When hope was lost I pay the cost I am what still remains Funny how a good boy turns bad Now I bite back At each and every hand Now this might work If I had a plan But as it stands Was a good boy, now a bad man
