El-P - Last Good Sleep lyrics

At night I cover my ears in tears The man downstairs must have drank too many beers But one day you'll pay Doomed to this kid that you fueled with anger actions Disgust mostly sick most, never have satisfaction Till your bones melt high incident clips and crumple zones Hold a fix on you eternal, intruder interrupting my zone Dwell the matter I must follow, why you proposed only the lonely know Swallowed my mother when she was hollow Who can blame a woman like her, singular parent One love already dissolved and the solution left polluted Two kids with a father who broke out as resoluted So f** it she needed love and you provided false clout Stomping on the bottom man and I wish she just walked out Knew you were Jekyll the stepfather, bit my tongue on the issue Next to stormy weather and forced tolerance but secretly vexed Wish I would have spoke on it but why deny the bliss Mom's with a new husband casting needles puncture pressure Briefly lifted the guilt from a divorce snuffing her pleasure Now you're all up in the family tree, come broken nuclear With termites corroded in your veins and elected to drown the pain But the pain couldn't quite die with a thrown back whiskey sour Puritan, crushing Moms between rocks for at least an hour Until the day I die x2 That's why At night I cover my ears in tears The man downstairs must have had too many beers Now every night of my life he beats his wife [Until the day I die] Until the day I die Timepiece must've read early morning at least So I lay d**h's cousin, woken by the sonics of the beast That somewhere deep beneath me a fracture had seized at my neck Breath was it, a flag that marked the end of my peace Conference of the birds I heard my mother dove cry Not absurd just routined I'd learned Just keep my f**ing grill locked and hope the entropy stops me process Stepfather's got to fight verbally when his liver's soaked And products come in bottles stuck with drunken last nerve up too close But I couldn't sense the distinction from the other nights' livest wires Ceremony's sparked again a dry one in comparison to this one Handing crutches to my psyche, I was tripping Huddled up clutching sis I think I heard a dress ripping I should've reacted to that But I didn't know the extent, please You could've caught him in time Yeah, that thought's occurred to me constantly Now I've been digging my head and I don't know what he wants from me Until one of us is dead I suppose That's why At night I cover my ears in tears The man downstairs must have had too many beers Now every night of my life he beats his wife [Until the day I die] Until the day I die x2 Much more than abrupt I heard the silence erupt But it was just a touch of tough love that I heard from above The calm and the climate confused me The dawn was a floozy Barely risen but still beckoning to me The song of the night's events amused me, morbidly In a petrified state I wait, to Deadwood on duty Just tempers flared I figured woozily When all is dead and done a pair is just as f**ing happy as they choose to be Now off to where the wild things dwell for shuteye The prospect bored me, awokened by the stepsounds coming towards me A quick glance at my mom's darkened silhouette in the hallway a**ured me So I sunk with the hope that hibernation would cure me And slept my last sleep while I counted clone sheep And dreamt about nothing for the last time ever The ignorance was blissful just a recollection Of the gift of innocent times from a merciful deception Woke to hazy landscapes to find my world defied the laws my mind mandates Patching jugulars with Band-aids The turn on you laid well above my bed Were here and only barely through the shock of what her broken face told me You should have known what happened I was young and oblivous He almost k**ed your mom If I knew I could have done something You'll never see him again Yeah but I see him every night And cover my ears in tears as he beats his f**ing wife At night I cover my ears in tears The man downstairs must have drank too many beers Now every night of my life he beats his wife [Until the day I die] Scott Bivins Until the day I die x12
