Floorboards will creak beneath my feet, as I tiptoe to your room.
Soon I will see you the way you were meant to be seen and I'll love you the way we were meant to be loved, but never were ,we were never.
Maybe he didn't hit us hard enough.
Maybe he didn't hurt us hard enough.
Because I am the way I am and you're the way you are, with that rage and that fist and that momentum
You grabbed your pliers and you took out my dogtooth
and my ears were busted by the screaming of your member.
And I just can't get passed all the violence.
The only thing to release any of myself is you.
And I can't get passed all the violence.
The only thing can get into is you.
But I've gotta force my way through and by and there's gotta be a way I'll get by.
Or maybe I will just do more drugs like my parents did.
Or maybe I will die.
(Or maybe I will die.)
Or maybe I will bleed the fuck to death.
(Or maybe I will die.)
Or maybe I will kill all of your families.
(Or maybe I will die.)
Or maybe I will die.
(Or maybe I will die.)

With all of that steel I could see how heavy she must have felt.
One for every pour, a swift indention.
But she was so small.
I can't compare my skin to hers.
If it's my hair then she still takes first.
But if there's one thing that I do have, it's eyes.
Splintery eyes.
But I can take in the world.
I can take in your body.
What else do I need to live by?
But I can take in the world.
I can take in her body.
What else do I need to live by?
My fingernails are sharp again, I'm sorry.
I'll clip them in the morning.
And we will be gentle again.
Gentler than men.

I'm in the rough and now the rose falls and I'm grateful for all of my scars.
Oh, are you listening darlin'?
I wanna go faster.
And the beetle bug will fall on my shoulder and It'll scare me and I will crash and we will die and burn it all back again.
And the scars on my lungs aren't nearly as painful as yours.
I'm hurtin, yeah I'm hurtin in my bones.
Hurtin in my bones.
(indecipherable)
And you'll be scare of all the demons that have been there in the past.
And you'll trip and die
And your teeth will fall out.
And I'll make a candle out of you.
And burn you to the wax and the bottom.
And in the meantime I'll carve with my blade, her initials in your side
And passerbiers will see what only she meant to me.

I open my back and I stretch out my limbs.
And I'm prancin about in my smooth coat
And I know just where I'm going.
And I'm lurkin' around.
And I see the sun.
And I walk outside.
And the sun traces my hand on it's stone coated ground.
And it lies and I stretch again.
And I stop to yawn.
I get hungry.
(indecipherable)
I wanna go outside
I wanna go where I will go
When I'm away the mice will play and everyone will see again how I was loved and I will know again what I can do.
I can see your eyes.

There a little man with a little head and his heart lives in his brain.
There are butterflies that form in the sky that with his hand he's made.
(indecipherable)
And my legs are heavy, but holding me up and I can't stand for much longer.
But I'll be alright, I'll make it through the night without you.

Oh please, please come back darlin, I can't do it much longer.
Please, please come back darlin, I miss your touch.
Oh do you remember the day you left our humble home.
Oh do you remember the day you broke my heart.
Oh please, please come back now darlin, I can't do this anymore.
Please, please come back darlin, I can't do this anymore.
Please, please come back to me, darlin.
Please?

To all the boys and girls outside
You know I didn't cry
But you saw me anyway
In the back of the creek one day
And if you're trying to get a ride
On a roller skate or a bike
Just ask me and I'll take you round
The block and back this way again
To all the boys and girls outside
Why don't you come and fly with me
I'll show you why I ran away
The other day from my mom and dad
All the boys and the girls outside
I know you've got crazy things inside
And that's why I've got to show you
How I do the things I do best
I like to roller skate and bike
And that's why I've got crazy style
I go so fast around the block
And as I do I sing this song to you:
Sunshine, oh sunshine
If you don't know why you shine
You've got to go into the sun
You've got to go inside

I can't even do it anymore I'm so fucked up.
From all your shit, and you're fucking me up
With your hands and your manly approach.
That lacks the man, and is quite feminine.
