| There's a white prism with phony jism | |
| spread across its face | |
| and the soulful convicts forever interred | |
| lose the smile across their faces | |
| The smile that registered hopes or dreams | |
| has proven just a waste | |
| And I'm the indentured servant | |
| forever in his place | |
| I'm the indentured servant | |
| forever in his place | |
| I wish I built a cabinet | |
| of shiny bolts and wood | |
| secret draws and hiding places | |
| sculpted out of wood | |
| Secret places, secret lies | |
| in a desk lying alone | |
| A secret letter written to you | |
| to be read when you're alone | |
| A secret letter written to you | |
| to be read when you're alone | |
| It says, I'm your indentured servant | |
| I can no longer pretend | |
| that I'm a lover or an equal | |
| I'm not even a friend | |
| I'm not good enough to serve you | |
| I'm not good enough to stay | |
| So it is that I beseech you | |
| to please turn me away | |
| so it is that I beseech you | |
| to please turn me away | |
| Turn me away | |
| turn me away | |
| turn me away | |
| I'm asking you to let me go | |
| it hurts me when you're sad | |
| and I can not do better than this | |
| which must surely make you mad | |
| I'd be better off in your cabinet | |
| or in a prison made of cloth | |
| Crouched beneath your dress I come | |
| shooting little spurts | |
| crouched beneath your dress I come | |
| shooting little spurts | |
| I'm your indentured servant | |
| but even I have pride | |
| in what I make or say or do | |
| although I've lots to hide | |
| I hide from freedom and I hide from you | |
| 'cause you've found me out | |
| I belong in prison beneath your legs | |
| in a cabinet that I've built | |
| beneath a candle in a secret drawer | |
| in a prison by a moat | |
| I'm your indentured servant | |
| and I'm asking you to leave | |
| me outside this prison cell | |
| where only you can breathe | |
| I-I-I, I'm your indentured servant | |
| but I'm asking you for this | |
| Please release me from this love | |
| and do it with a kiss | |
| I'm your indentured servant | |
| I'm the one you'll miss | |
| Do it with a kiss | |
| do it with a kiss | |
| do it with a kiss | |
| I'm the one you'll miss |
