[Verse 1]

There were people at the bar where I was born

But I don’t know them anymore

You were the image in my head when I was born

While they folded into each others mouths

Dropping stained teeth on the floor

[Verse 2]

Then, I saw you in the park when I was four

You burned like a cathedral door

I went back to where you stood, when I was five

All the trees leaned into windows now

Dripping stained glass in my eyes

[Verse 3]

Then, you touched me on the arm when I was nine

My fingernails cracked with colored lines

And I used that hand to write until I died

You walked me back into the bar

Each new hair dancing with lice
