The Family God

Lyrics

[Intro] 1, 2, 3, 4 [Verse 1] She waited right here for 25 years With nothing to win she wasted her tears She nailed shut the door Spilled herself on the floor She waited too long Then she waited some more [Chorus 1] Counting the hours How much can you take And what does she feel When she finally breaks And what was his name Oh God he fucked like a prince He bought her some gifts And more pills to take A Japanese sword A German gun with a shine A ring like the sun A box with gold lines A room with a bed Some thin cigarettes A window that stained And an endless ache That could never be Could never be Could never be Could never be Released [Verse 2] There are people like us And we walk through this place And we look just like you But it's you that we hate With your struggles and joys And your freedom to choose Your freedom to choose Your freedom to choose [Chorus 2] Counting the time Filling the glass Counting our breath Which one will come last And what is this face I don't recognize Who's kissing these eyes That watch as you cry What have I done I don't care any more What have I become Who cares any more Just give me some more Give me some more Give me some more Give me some more Give me some more Give me some more Give me some more Give me some more Release
