lyrics

I hold my brother down while dad calls the cops,
I try to tie my mind in little knots,
He kicks and screams and moans,
But his eyes are scared, and soft -
I feel within my soul
A little rot

Pinning a lizard down in childhood's golden haze
Is human enough - as is the killer's gaze
Guilt runs back to the root,
And who are we to say
That Evil is not a hymn? -
Written down in clay

I'm drowning
I'm standing still
It's the window sill
That sways

Dad goes out driving,
He's looking for a sign
And I know that these
Are the only times he cries
Hatred and love entwine
And strengthen each in kind;
Searching the night
For a glimmer of his child

We're standing still,
It's the window sill
That sways

I'm drowning.
