Fragile Creatures - Dear Michael Lyrics

They left you alone at night
Handcuffed to the bed
And I get to wondering
What must have gone through your head?
They said, "you're family now
And you can't leave here,"
Or they'll hunt you down
Each time that you withdraw
Your income support
They'll call the office up
And find out where you are
You gave submission and they tore you apart, dear boy
No validation that your vulnerable heart's a toy to them
What stopped you from screaming out?
Dear Michael
They held you down
And took it in turns
To push you around
So you took all you could take
And the bottom of a lake
Is where they left your head
When you wound up dead
You gave submission and they tore you apart, dear boy
No validation that your vulnerable heart's a toy to them
What stopped you from screaming out?
Dear Michael
And I guess it's fair enough
That you wanted to belong
Sometimes we're blind by love.
Forget we've got to sing our own songs
Dear Michael
