What's Good for You - Deviant, Jerry Ess

When she was young she was told in life

One day you’ll make a good wife

We give our souls for the sweeter times

She swears she should’ve known something wasn’t right

Let the devil in the door in the dark night

She knew it didn’t feel right

Now she’s waiting for the moment to break

From his grip on her arm that’s so tight

Get out, get out

You’ve gotta get out of here

She’s in trouble now, what to do?

I guess she never really ever knew

How to feel, how to love, that a shove ain’t a hug

That mummy’s bruises weren’t normal as she grew

So clueless

It’s not her fault she was only young, but

It isn’t hard to see the damage that he’s done

Better run, better run, better run

He hits the bottle every minute he gets

And when he’s out he takes it out on her you wouldn’t suspect it

Cos he’s empty as the bottles littering the kitchen bench

She’s tense, every time she hears the door and smells the liquor stench

You fuckin oxygen thief, giving her grief

It’s all I think about and now I can’t stop grinding my teeth

I hear her screaming in the middle of the night while you sleep peacefully

It’s almost as if you were 6ft deep (if only)

Get out, get out

You’ve gotta get out of here

Lying on this couch of bad decisions and dreams

Where the thought of ever after is as bad as it seems

Where the idea of what you wanted left you checking your sleeves

Hoping that shiver is the ice in the breeze

Run run faster now

Wouldn’t pick you to hold me down

Hard to hide in this small town

When those before have tried and drowned

Run run harder now

Hear the footsteps on the ground

Keep your eyes straight don’t turn around

Just one more step you’re homeward bound

Get out, get out

You’ve gotta get out of here

Get out of here
