lyrics

Buddleia and vomit
Next door in the vacant lot
Black plastic flapping in the field
Sometimes my anger makes me ill

Sometimes it feels like I have died
But I haven’t realised
Invisible in broad daylight
A ghost haunting a former life

Here he comes like a fire in a stall
Cauterised, I don’t feel anything at all
Moving mouth, plucking reasons from thin air
I know his past. I sympathise but I don’t care

When we wake in the winter gloom
Wash his face get him dressed for school
Your vacant look your sullen grin
I hate how you’ve made me hate him

Cheesy chips and a can of European beer
Lying round like the clues in some strange crime scene
Passed out in the greenhouse once again
He was always good at playing the victim

He’s got your eyes
Nose and chin
And I see your face
Every time I looks
At him

Cauterised and a quarter of a wife
Numb to all, that’s the story of my life
