Cut Throat

Oh dear sweet sister
I can't believe we're alive
just hear our voices

Your hatred could burn a nation
Black lunged we breathe
I brace myself for violence
through clenched jaws we teethe
You connect yourself with wires
to pale scorched skin

Life leaves me empty

I'll take his life for you
Just like you want me to
So dry your eyes
Breath in you’re weeping
I know we've not been sleeping

We hide amongst dust and ashes
cracked photos and glass
Why would you want to shake me?
No doubt you'll break me

Stay, stay quiet, not a whisper, not a sound
You've left me fucking furious!
It's fear that makes him strong
The same fear that keeps us calm

No I, won't let, him graze, your skin, no not ever again
Or he'll wake to find a cut throat

Are you ashamed to listen?
You're a broken shell, you coward, you liar, you thief
Now look at the man you wish you could be
