Women and Children and Men

lyrics

Sleep soundly woman, where last night we fall
In a last burst of lust, but there's no trust at all
In rest undemanding, no knowledge or shame
Of waking emotion you cannot contain

I want to look on you and see only good
But I know that there's lies there, and plaster and wood
All cover the feelings that bubble inside
Should I feel your frustration deeper than mine?

If you're not in the habit of hitting women or children or men
Then why'd you come wildly and strike me again?
If you can't control all that rage in your head
Then fuck you my friend.

Your frustration turns rage and I'm standing in line
Throwing your objects at this body of mine
Your claws, grit teeth, your kicks, my bones
I fear being here just as to leave you alone.

I tried to be useful, and of course I'm no saint
But I held, like an easel, your canvas to paint
The smell of your poison out in the hall
I was trying to take space for the sake of it all.

If you're not in the habit of hitting women or children or men
Then why'd you come wildly and strike me again?
If you can't control all that terrible rage in your head
Then fuck you my friend.
