Rattle Sharp Candy

by Blush

/
1.
Well I shot my dog last night, now the chicks and the hogs look at me like i'm a monster/ little did they know that dog was no good/ he had broken parts/ you get on your knees to pray/ I get on my knees to pray, for my god to take me away/ an old boy like me can't live no longer, an old boy like me has no fun no more/ you get on your knees to pray/ get on your knees to pray
2.
I can hear things getting quieter/ so I can't be the only one/ I can hear you scratching at my door/ now i'm left with these scars on my heart/ Katherine, the cat/ Well I can't see your face no more, and baby cutting my skin relieves the pain/ Now i'm left with no thought on this world, now i'm left with disguise on my heart/ now i'm left with disguise on my heart
3.
I crawl, waiting for my supper/ Listen, I'm a hungry little boy/ I'm waiting for my old man to feed me/ I'll scream and scratch at his door until he hits me/ He chose not to feed me tonight, But my stomach rubs up against my spine/ rattle sharp candy/ I crawl like a baby learning walk/ while i'm being watched like a hawk/ I pray for him to forgive me/ i pray for forgiveness
4.
A candied flower can't find it's place/ the devil in my eyes can't see my face/ it's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring/ he went to bed, he bumped his head, he couldn't get up in the morning
5.
I will run till my face grow numb/ nothing I can do but sleep, sleep away the pain/ I can see inside your mind, a dark place can't always hide/ I say my prayers, and I ask of he/ to save me from the weak, and see/ Say your prayers, say your prayers baby/ I'm afraid of what you can do to me, but you're mine and that's all you can be/ so say your prayers, say your prayers and i'll pass you away
6.
Beaten Horse 04:58
These pigs don't know where I come from, they see me as the hunter/ horse, beaten horse/ i feel like a beaten horse, this house ain't suited for no one/ these people have no god, they make me feel like beaten horse/ horse, beaten horse/ I feel like a beaten horse, please let me be/ I feel like a beaten horse, please let me be/ you know i'm a beaten horse, and my eyes can't focus/
7.
Hush little baby don't say a word, mamas gonna buy you a mocking bird/ and if that mocking bird don't sing, mamas gonna buy you a diamond ring/ my legs no longer move like they used to, and my eyes lost focus/ I wish i was young again, when he held me like he cared again/ nothing I can do but sleep, sleep away the pain/ he doesn't talk to me like he used to, he doesn't love me/ I just want him to love me like he used to, He won't even notice when i'm gone/ go away, go away, go away/ hooray, hooray, hooray
8.
On my way to find your son, his heart, his heart is mine to keep/ in his heart I find scary things, his heart, his heart is made up of these/ lust, lies, filth, disguise, hate, kill, next meal/ oh my son is, my son is crawling away, oh my son is, my son is crawling away/ this flesh suit ain't nothin to me/ I see you every day, don't think you can eat me away/ why that bark cast me away? come home and pray away/ oh my son is, my son is crawling away, oh my son is, my son is crawling away/
9.
The void so deep the man he fell, in chains and mass refuse to kneel/ we pretend to not know what we did, we did/ in change we waste away/ god gives him sight, sweet son can't you see i'm hurting? In your heart you can find me/ night cry, night cry/ where are you, where are you? where are you hiding? where are you, where are you, where are you? go to sleep now, go to sleep now/
