How's the stench?
How's the feed?
Left in sand, you've wiped me clean
Hear me out, keep me quiet
You've seen my company
My ghost just weaves in, so effortlessly
Your daughter's hand is absent
But my room door, it's left open
The ceiling light casts a patient indulgent in my cessation
You're trembling now
Faster and faster
I'm wearing you out
Faster and faster
You told me yesterday that you'd be there for me
But I keep you company, such quiet company
Put the bottle down, find another muse
Relieve yourself without abuse
In the mirror glass you see the truth, my body's aging
But Dad, I'm coming home soon
I wear my red lips uneven
The harvest of the season, your painting in lesions
This season I'm coming home
I hide in the dark and sleep beneath your feet
I am the voice that you hear, a whisper of your deeds
This season I'm coming home for you
Don't hide from me now
Father oh Father
Comfort me, comfort me now
In death and forever
In death and forever
In death, forever
