Nice Work, Bone Daddy

by When Nothing Works

lyrics

Anger rising
(I can feel it)
Voice is raised
(I can hear it)
"Do as I say!"
(He hates me)
Gets the belt out
You've no choice

Skin and bone
(So fragile)
Nothing to you
(So brittle)
Beats you down
(He's a monster)
But it's alright
You're not done yet

Oh sweet darling
Roll with the punches
Every blow he throws is softer than the other
You've truly blossomed
Your strength knows no bounds
To not allow him any power over you
This life is yours
This life is yours now

Do as he says
(Do it now)
Take it off
(Degrading)
Makes you suffer
(Make it stop)
Have A little hope
To hold onto

You.
You found comfort
(So peaceful)
You found solace
(So tranquil)
Small salvation
(Something at least)
At last you've got
A little hope to hold onto

Oh sweet darling
Roll with the punches
Every blow he throws is softer than the other
You've truly blossomed
Your strength knows no bounds
To not allow him any power over you
This life is yours
This life is yours now

Through every bruise
(Through every bruise)
Through every insult
(Through every insult)
You found the courage
(You found the courage)
To put old ghosts to bed
(To put old ghosts to bed)

Through every bruise
(Through every bruise)
Through every insult
(Through every insult)
You found the courage
(You found the courage)
To put old ghosts to bed
(To put old ghosts to bed)

He was no man
Just a snake
Saw his prey
Nearly killed you
You've prevailed now
Skinned that serpent
All the nightmares
Are up in flames

Oh sweet darling
Roll with the punches
Every blow he throws is softer than the other

Oh sweet darling
Roll with the punches
Every blow he throws is softer than the other
You've truly blossomed
Your strength knows no bounds
To not allow him any power over you
This life is yours
This life is yours now
