Shrinking Violet

Mostly I'm afraid

Never again will I know

That I can trust your love

Far as I can throw it

Mostly I'm afraid

Never again will I be sure

That while you are sleepwalking you won't

Become what you endured

Mostly I'm afraid of you

Mostly I'm afraid of you

Mostly I'm afraid of you

Yes, I sleep with one eye open

And I hold my breath till dawn

Yes, I'm no shrinking violet

But I got my head screwed on

You stood over me with a knife

And you tried to take my life

And it's no comfort you don't remember

It's no comfort that you've moved on

There's nothing I can say

Beyond this whispered wish

Your anger has a hunger, mister

And I'm its favorite dish

There's nothing I can say

So I don't make a sound

I just wipe the counter and I

I keep my head down

There's nothing I can say to you

There's nothing I can say to you

There's nothing I can say to you

I sleep with one eye open

And I hold my breath till dawn

No, I'm no shrinking violet

But I got my head screwed on

You stood over me with a knife

And you tried to take my life

And it's no comfort you don't remember

It's no comfort that we've moved on

It's no comfort that we've moved on
