Your mother hung herself in the National Theater
|
When she was four months pregnant with your sister
|
Who would have been thirteen years old today
|
Does that make you feel any less alone in the world?
|
|
Your dad, I'm sure, he tried his best
|
He thought you'd be better off living with your grandmother
|
He didn't realize that she had already given up
|
Baby, your family, they are just losers
|
|
I've become such a wolf around you
|
My thoughts go dark and dull, out of focus
|
Have no peace in my mind
|
Because you
|
You've touched me
|
|
The screech owls are going insane outside my house
|
It is the season for trouble and self destruction
|
All of my friends, they are falling apart
|
But not me, I'm in control
|
|
Remember the exquisite corpse that we created together
|
We laughed at the time, it seemed so impenetrable
|
But reading it now I think I understand
|
What it is that we are trying to steal from each other
|
|
I've become such a wolf around you
|
My thoughts go dark and dull, out of focus
|
Have no peace in my mind
|
Because you
|
You've touched me
|
