black eyes & broken glass lyrics

How long can this anger last
Unenlightened with fist tightened
Explode and I run from the blast
My ears ringing, my face stinging

And you push and pull me
Beat and bruise me till I'm aching
And you take and use me
Just abuse me till I'm breaking

Too strong when you come unglued
Overpowered till I'm devoured
No absolution till I'm black and black
But it's too late, hope you feel great

And you push and pull me
Beat and bruise me till I'm aching
And you take and use me
Just abuse me till I'm breaking

Just around the bend
We will have to brake
Careening over the edge
No other road to take

Up against the ropes again, our daily regimen
Cursing then hurting, apologize then console
Of course it's problematic with an aggression addict
Needing me bleeding is taking its toll

And you push and pull me
Beat and bruise me till I'm aching
And you take and use me
Just abuse me till I'm breaking

And you push and pull me
Beat and bruise me till I'm aching
And you take and use me
Just abuse me till I'm breaking

Hang a picture over the hole in the wall
Try to sweep up this broken glass
Hide my face so I don't need to explain
And hope that these things too shall pass
