| [00:08.42] |
In the middle of the night I was sleeping sitting up |
| [00:12.79] |
When a doctor came to tell me |
| [00:15.18] |
"Enough is Enough" |
| [00:17.01] |
He brought me out into the hall |
| [00:19.00] |
I could have sworn it was haunted |
| [00:21.75] |
And told me something that I didn't know |
| [00:24.61] |
That I wanted to hear: |
| [00:26.93] |
That there was nothing that I could do to save you |
| [00:30.36] |
The choirs gonna sing and this sing is gonna kill you |
| [00:35.06] |
Something in my throat made my next words shake |
| [00:38.92] |
And something in the wires made the light bulbs break |
| [00:43.45] |
There was glass inside my feet |
| [00:45.19] |
And raining down from the ceiling |
| [00:47.73] |
It opened up the scars that had just finished healing |
| [00:52.07] |
It tore apart the canyon running down your femur |
| [00:56.45] |
I thought that it was beautiful |
| [00:58.60] |
It made me a believer |
| [01:00.84] |
And as it opened I could hear you howling from your room |
| [01:04.92] |
But I hid out in the hall until the hurricane blew |
| [01:09.56] |
When I reappeared and tried to give you something for the pain |
| [01:13.48] |
You came to hating me again, and just sang your refrain: |
| [01:18.65] |
You had a new dream |
| [01:20.44] |
It was more like a nightmare |
| [01:22.89] |
You were just a little kid |
| [01:24.62] |
And they cut your hair |
| [01:26.94] |
Then they stuck you in machines |
| [01:29.13] |
You came so close to dying |
| [01:32.06] |
They should have listened |
| [01:33.45] |
They thought that you were lying |
| [01:36.05] |
Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up |
| [01:40.03] |
Build the gears in your head |
| [01:41.96] |
Now he greases them up |
| [01:44.31] |
And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating |
| [01:49.10] |
"Eighty seven pounds!" |
| [01:50.89] |
And this all bears repeating |
| [01:53.68] |
|
| [02:28.19] |
Tell me when you think that we became so unhappy |
| [02:32.87] |
Wearing silver rings with nobody clapping |
| [02:36.45] |
When we moved here together we were so disappointed |
| [02:41.86] |
Sleeping out of tune with our dreams disjointed |
| [02:45.42] |
It killed me to see you getting always rejected |
| [02:49.75] |
But I didn't mind the things you threw |
| [02:51.89] |
The phones I deflected |
| [02:54.04] |
I didn't mind you blaming me for your mistakes |
| [02:58.31] |
I just held you in the door frame |
| [03:00.56] |
Through all of the earthquakes |
| [03:02.80] |
But you packed up your clothes in that bag every night |
| [03:07.38] |
And I would try to grab your ankles |
| [03:09.45] |
What a pitiful sight |
| [03:11.46] |
But after over a year I stopped trying to stop you |
| [03:16.21] |
From stomping out that door |
| [03:18.20] |
Coming back like you always do |
| [03:20.33] |
Well no one's gonna fix it for us |
| [03:23.16] |
No one can |
| [03:24.59] |
You say that, 'No one's gonna listen, |
| [03:26.42] |
And no one understands.' |
| [03:28.89] |
So there's no open doors |
| [03:31.02] |
And there's no way to get through |
| [03:33.16] |
There's no other witnesses |
| [03:36.12] |
Just us two |
| [03:38.52] |
There's two people living in one small room |
| [03:42.30] |
From your two half-families tearing at you |
| [03:47.14] |
Two ways to tell the story no one worries |
| [03:51.43] |
Two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry |
| [03:55.76] |
Two people talking inside your brain |
| [03:59.93] |
Two people believing that I'm the one to blame |
| [04:04.25] |
Two different voices coming out of your mouth |
| [04:08.48] |
While I'm too cold to care and too sick to shout |
| [04:13.28] |
You had a new dream |
| [04:14.97] |
It was more like a nightmare |
| [04:17.58] |
You were just a little kid |
| [04:19.20] |
And they cut your hair |
| [04:21.45] |
Then they stuck you in machines |
| [04:23.71] |
You came so close to dying |
| [04:26.68] |
They should have listened |
| [04:28.07] |
They thought that you were lying |
| [04:30.72] |
Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up |
| [04:34.55] |
Build the gears in your head |
| [04:36.58] |
Now he greases them up |
| [04:38.88] |
And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating |
| [04:43.84] |
"Eighty seven pounds!" |
| [04:45.48] |
And this all bears repeating |
| [04:48.28] |
