"The Mouse" taken from Amber Dogs' debut EP "Cut The Knot".
lyrics
So you bit the bullet
swallowed the bitter pill
got everything you wished for
how does it make you feel
Was it something you always wanted
or something people do
is there anything left in you
except for flesh and bones?
I will rip your heart out just to see if I can make you feel
your dreams so common that you don’t deserve to make them real
show me your problems I will show how your wounds will heal
instead of trying to untie I would rather cut the knot
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to say?”
Honestly I’m no one
but are you happy today
Just like the mouse who found the cheese
but couldn’t see the trap
now all you have is your midday nap
and your Mercedes’ keys
I will rip your heart out just to see if I can make you feel
your dreams so common that you don’t deserve to make them real
show me your problems I will show how your wounds will heal
instead of trying to untie I would rather cut the knot
