Cheers Pricks - Daughters

I can’t keep my eye from twitching

I can’t make sense of this

If it’s ringing in my head or in my ears I cannot tell the difference

I’m wishing I was a bit more educated

You’re wishing for a belt of human hair and teeth (mine)

You want to know what it takes to make this young man weep

You’ve researched how to break my bones and skin me alive

You want to put me in a traveling show

Five bodies

Zero sleep

You’ve sent me out on a limb to hang myself high above these dirty streets

It’s getting louder

I think it knows my name

I awoke in the middle of the night to find it standing in my doorway

Is it over yet?

Is this all there is?

Am I speaking only in vowels here?

Am I a mime?

A swollen tongue

Am I here?

I am

Can anybody here me out there?

Put me down like a horse with a broken leg

An old dog foaming at the mouth

Tie a chain around my ankle and take me out to the blackest deepest sea

Carry me out to the town square

Put me on the guillotine
