Your Tongue's Got the Cat

I'm thinking of days gone by when you gazed at me but did not say a word. Now those days have turned into nights and I'm scared to be around you, I'll get hurt. I hope you're still in there somewhere, I tell myself that I still care but those glowing eyes keep me aware. Hell stole my baby! I see it in those eyes that you're not there and it is not your voice. Your tongue's got the cat! You told me our cat might taste great in a tortured voice distorted like a curse. Then your tongue struck out like a snake, all that is left of Fluffy was a little fur. I hope you're still in there somewhere, I tell myself that I still care but those glowing eyes keep me aware. Hell stole my baby! I see it in those eyes that you're not there and it is not your voice. Your tongue's got the cat!
