I took the words from your mother
I took the drugs but they put me to sleep
How will you tell your brother
I crashed the gates for a God I could not appease
Take your love back if it's what you need
I've got to learn just what it takes to breed
Notions are the rope that won't fit right
In other's eyes
I'm worth half what I hoped for
Soaked both the promise rings in bleach
A blood stain on the carpet
That could fill a moat but not my body
Take your love back if it's what you need
I've got to learn just what it takes to breed
Notions are the rope that won't fit right
In other's eyes
The ones I try to love are multiplying
And yet again
What I try to build
Just keeps on dying
Over and over again
My trauma surely shows the fear I mark
On everyone I know
Bereft I speak in tongues and moths explode
My eyes fixed on the one
