No If's, But's Or Maybe's

from Haloed Cat by Venetic ®

about

Something's gotta go.

lyrics

Her mind turns circles
Stuck in four walls
She watches the clock
Waits for his call
Solitude squeezes her
In its grasp
She thinks of her parents
Of things in the past
Sympathy and suffering
Her stock in trade
Make her feel righteous
But she can’t get away

CHORUS:
There’s no if’s, but’s or maybe’s
No time for happenstance
No perhaps or possibilities
You don’t get second chances
You’d better have a firm hand
No time for remonstrances
Don’t lose your opportunity
Don’t steal backward glances

She feels so helpless
So ill at ease
Stuck in a marriage
With a two-faced sleaze
Lost in fantasies
Spends days asleep
Can’t believe this is
How it’s gonna be
She can’t face him
Say how she feels
Her only hope is
He’ll give up and leave

CHORUS

She waits at bedtime
He soon falls asleep
All worn out
After a long week
She watches his stomach
Rise and fall
A stroke of her knife’ll
Soon end it all
Three strokes later
She’s not had enough
She pulls back the sheets
There’s still one thing to cut

CHORUS
