My Screeching Halt

Rising above you and falling before you Begging for mercy, I'll never forgive you This time Elastic, sublime Ecstatic, neurotic, all mine To hold To shape and to mold To crush in the hands that enfold I guess I didn't want it bad enough And now I've had it up to here, I'm giving up the reins So lead this horse to water if you must But I think she's just as happy sipping mud from the storm drains And would it make you feel better if I crossed my fingers and told you That it wasn't all your fault Would it make much of a difference to know That on the road to happiness, you were my screeching halt Who goes there where the dragon is sleeping In piles of treasure what creatures are creeping In slime We're born without spines But the spikes and the thorns in our side Inside There's nowhere to hide From the face of our faithless designs I guess I didn't want it bad enough And now I've had it up to here, I'm giving up the reins So lead this horse to water if you must But I think she's just as happy sipping mud from the storm drains And would it make you feel better if I crossed my fingers and told you That it wasn't all your fault Would it make much of a difference to know That on the road to happiness, you were my screeching halt You were my screeching halt You were my screeching halt You were my screeching halt
