lyrics

Keeps her money in a compartment
Medical bills piled high
Going to get new medication
But the well has run dry

I know it’s coming
To tear me apart
My whole worlds filled with
Lapsarian art

I know it’s coming for me
Coming next for me soon
All alone in
An empty abandoned hospital room

She’s got a knife and he’s coming home late
Clothes stained with lipstick and wine
The jury convicted but they all agree
What she did wasn’t a crime

Smallpox blankets lined in snow
Without our intrusion
How else were they supposed to grow?

She’s got a knife and he’s coming home late
Clothes stained with lipstick and wine
The jury convicted but they all agree
What she did wasn’t a crime

He sits in the corner
Eyes glued to the screen
Kittys not alone out there
Wonder if he heard her scream

He sits in the corner
eyes glued to the screen
Kittys out there cryin’
Wonder if he heard her scream

He sits in the corner
eyes glued to the screen
Kittys out there dyin’
Wonder if he heard her scream

He sits in the corner
Too scared to look away from the screen
Kitty won’t stop screaming
Trying hard to breath
