You Really Just Bite The Hand

You really just bite the hand

The one that helped you stand

The one that pulled you up  

From every sinking sand

You really just twist the rope

The cord that held your hope

The thread that kept you steady  

When you couldn’t even cope

You really just scorch the bridge

The one without a ridge

The path I carved for you  

From cliff to jagged edge

You really just break the vow

The one you whispered loud

The promise shaped like shelter

That you’re burning down now

You really just bite the hand

And still you don’t understand

I fed you through the famine

Now you’re starving in the land
