The Throes
Lyricist:Adam Stephens
Well, I don't know if I can take this anymore She's thinking as he shoves her against the wall Screaming, 'Well, then what good are you for? You don't give me no pleasure at all'
Oh, now I know I need to leave So she tells herself again Wipes a little blood upon her sleeve But she don't tell herself when
And the baby starts a-crying, daddy sits back down Sinks another drink to bring his temper down And it's in each they're reflecting on the TV screen It reminds her of a better day, she thought she'd seen
But now take your time before you grieve And keep your heart held off your sleeve 'Cause ain't no one but you deceived Your sympathy is soon to leave
And now hide your mouth before you speak Better yet just turn a cheek Watch your interest growing weak But still you say that I'm the freak And I guess that's fine with me
But he's probably had a long, long day She's thinking in the kitchen while she weeps Putting dinner's left-overs away As he stumbles off to bed and then to sleep
And surely he'll be better come the dawn When I rise to cook him breakfast 'fore he goes Wakes without a word and then he's gone He's got that kinda love that never shows
And baby starts a-wailing and daddy comes back out 'Shut up that child', she hears him shout And cradled in her arms she tries to calm the sound Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'How am I to sleep?', he screams and slaps her down
But now take your time before you grieve And keep your heart held off your sleeve 'Cause ain't no one but you deceived Your sympathy is soon to leave
And now hide your mouth before you speak Better yet just turn a cheek Watch your interest growing weak But still you say that I'm the freak And I guess that's fine with me
When she wakes her head don't cease to pain Bodies broken and her clothes all torn away Still the threat of emptiness remains As she struggles to her feet to get away
'Help, where has my child gone?', she screams As she runs from room to room Every sound of silence lingers on Not a single kick inside her womb
And her mind drowns in the shadows, mama falls back down Where the walls that shape her world seem taller from the ground And no more breath to scream, her throat just drips away And no more life to lose as if there were to save
But now take your time before you grieve And keep your heart held off your sleeve 'Cause ain't no one but you deceived Your sympathy is soon to leave
And now hide your mouth before you speak Better yet just turn a cheek Watch your interest growing weak But still you say that I'm the freak And I guess that's fine with me
