she gets in with her stinking meal
and she talks too loud
you lift your chin knowing what’s the deal
never let her win
your fingers shake as you cross them tight
whispering in space
the words get louder as you spit them out
“tell me whats the point
no you’ll never change no you’ll never win
I got a load of pride”
the burning pages of the book of sin
Peter at the wall
getting really frightening when he raises his voice
and you start to cry
a heavy head a screaming thought
“just take me home”
but you lift your chin never let him
win
you wanna win
