I do what I can to make you happy

But what is it that you expect of me?

Everything done falls short of expectations

Will I ever live up to your extreme standards?

The hand that feeds

Is the hand that bleeds

It makes me suffer

Like no other

I live the life that you want for me

Doing all that you never got to

Am I to blame for all your failures?

You'll never correct them with my successes

The hand that feeds

Is the hand that bleeds

It makes me suffer

Like no other

I can shoulder only so much hatred

Resentment, frustration & anger

Before I begin to buckle under pressure

I must start to fight back, make my stand

The hand that feeds

Is the hand that bleeds

It makes me suffer

Like no other

Rage in my eyes, never seen before

With every blow, I hit harder than before

The pleading in your voice completely ignored

I am my own man, I live as I choose

The hand that fed

Was the hand that bled

I made it suffer

Like no other
