The State I'm In

Written by Bootsauce, from Bootsauce, 1995



You, you made me
You tied me up and then you forget me
Yeah, it's only you, oh you, lately
Who's giving me some pain for your pleasure, yeah

Won't let me out
You've locked me in
I need you to look at the state I'm in
So let me out
Can't keep it in
I need you to look at the state I'm in

You, you can make me
Can't turn your back and then you forsake me
Yeah, it's only you who can save me
Can bring me back to life, suffocate me

Won't let me out
You've locked me in
I need you to look at the state I'm in
So let me out
Can't keep it in
I need you to look at the state
I know I'm in, look at the state I'm in
Look at the state I'm in

You, you'll break me
You cut me up and then you embrace me
Yeah, there's only you who degrades me
I turn my back, a knife's there to greet me
Yeah, so tell me who? Who can help me
Can't turn my back on life's little pleasures
Oh, why is it you, a-you lately
Who's giving me some pain for my pleasure

Won't let me out
You've locked me in
I need you to look at the state I'm in
So let me out
Can't keep it in
I need you to look at the state
I know I'm in, look at the state I'm in

Look at the state I'm in (x 8)

(Ling) Take a look around, and I see you...think twice next time.
