Skittish Cat

[Verse 1]
I'm like a creature that dwells in the corner
Of your bad decisions and self-criticisms
You've invited the devil to come 'round for tea
You're so scared of the outcome
That you dig your nails into me

[Chorus]
Like a skittish cat
Trapped in a tree
Your stomach of lead
Is leaking on me
And building up
Some kind of wall
That hinders my thoughts
And it's making me crawl

[Verse 2]
I was so messed up that night that we ended
With four drinks too many
I went to a pretty dark place
Called you up out of sheer desperation
But it just pushed you further
As you'd come to terms with the end

[Chorus]
Like a beaten hound
Weak in the knees
Your stomach of lead
Is leaking on me
And building up
Some kind of wall
That hinders my thoughts
And it's making me crawl

[Bridge]
Blind luck burns slow
You're stuck, yeah I know

[Chorus]
Like a skittish cat
Trapped in a tree
Your stomach of lead
Is leaking on me
And building up
Some kind of wall
That hinders my thoughts
And it's making me crawl

[Outro]
Blind luck burns slow
You're stuck, yeah I know
