Under The Stairs

Josh Woodward

I took some bread to him today
He was awake, but he wouldn't take it

He's getting frailer every day
Tied to the chair, under the stairs

But death is not a friend he's ever gonna meet
As long as I am here, he's staying in that seat
And he's gonna pay, in every way

The night he broke into her home
He thought he was strong, but God he was wrong

Now he's naked and alone
Scarred and abused, battered and bruised

It's only been a year but I have just begun
As long as I am here, I never will be done
Yeah, he's gonna pay, in every way

Nothing in the world could ever pay his debt
But I am gonna get as close as I can get
Yeah, he's gonna pay, in every way
