The Hand That Used To Feed lyrics

When you let them in your home, you were naked and alone. They`d been carving your tombstone since they first met you. It`s not the years spent in the wings, but it`s the lies that really sting, but now with one brief little fling the party`s over.



It`s so hard to understand in a field of also-rans to be someone else that they no longer need, to be smothered by the hand that used to feed.



One little slip was all it took, to put a bullet in your foot. You didn`t think to stop and look, but now you`re sober. In a single paragraph they turned your life into a farce; when you saw the photographs, the light was so cruel.



[CHORUS]



When you let them in your home you were naked and alone. They`d been carving your tombstone since they first met you.



[CHORUS]
