Dirt Baby

Do you think it's a coincidence
That I flinch when you hurt yourself
Don't you get that I don't want
To make you bleed anymore than me

Don't you see that all I want
Is for you to see the light
Don't you want a place to sit
While you think about your life

I never noticed you 'til you spoke to me
I never wanted to know you

Did you ever stop to think
About why I ask you these things
Have you ever wondered why
I speak to you in all your dreams

And you, my forgotten one who knows all these things
Watch from the sideline while the worms crown me king

I've never cared much for burnt offerings
I'm forced to give all the horseflies their wings
I remember the day I stepped into the mud
The desert was still dried after your great flood

I've always laid down and let you fuck me
Now I'm standing on the shore of the rolling bleach sea
I've come to enjoy the constant abuse
Now the choice is yours, and you'd better fucking choose

I lived my life without you until that day
You never gave me what you love to take away
Sick and afraid of what's living in you
I took away everything and left you with truth

Your own ugly truth
