Anchor your lips, the words you emit

Courage dribbles into spit

Pour out your hate, mix it with guilt

Feed the hungry ashes that you built

I didn’t know a thing outside of you

Led through your house as a fucking guest

Carry your name, bring up the politics

Make them think it’s me who’s sick

Brought up in imperfection, striving for perfection

Teacher of life, healer of pain

Brought up in imperfection, striving for perfection

Brought up in imperfection, dealer of pain

Known to a few, could barely stand on two

Showed me your empire deep underground

Claws in my arms, wretched filth burn my name

Only taught on how to hate myself

You could not have been further from the point

Of being a lover, a teacher, a mother

I hope you know I’ve always hated you

You’re the one who’s sick and I’m clean now

Promised it all, but you lied

Provoking assisted suicide

Kiss my cheek goodnight

Queen of suffering, Queen of suffering

Brought up in imperfection

Teacher of, healer of pain

And after all that you’ve put me through

Drowning you seems far too sane

I would have built the largest pyre

Cast you in the centre fire

It wouldn’t end, no not that quick for you

I’d make fucking sure of that

I would snare, like you did to me

You fucking liar, liar, liar

Brought up in imperfection, striving for perfection

Brought up in imperfection

Teacher of, healer of

Pain

The devil called you out, plead you had no way out

Give me love and I swear that I’ll behave, I’ll behave

And I’ll forever wear your face

Let them know it’s you who’s sick

Plead your case, make it quick

Locked by blood, set me fucking free
