Been picking up sticks to burn her enemies down
I do what I can for her
I slaughtered her a cow and I'm a vegetarian
That's not man enough for her, not bloody enough
I used my chemistry sk**s to bake her every pill she could swallow
She prayed to god and she called me a sinner, science isn't the way to win her
She gave me every disease under the sun before she ran for another town
My body reacts to her
How bodies react to her
She's facing due north when she's facing due east
She's got parking violations dating back to '63
She's got a ladder by the stairs
She uses it to sharpen her teeth
We fear for our lives around her
We fear for our lives
The demons are alive in her head that's why we have to make sense of every tiny word that she says
She stole my twenties from me
My face has never looked so thin
I hide behind facial hair but people aren't stupid, they can see what I'm doing
I'm trying to pretend I won this war between my brain and her brawn
But this is a war I won't be coming home from
Now I'm lying through my teeth again
It's a trait she taught me well
If truth had been told from the start I'd have never seen hell
Will someone get a message to my father and say "Dad I won't be coming home I'm gonna take this all the way"
My kids will understand someday
My kids will understand someday
