My Uncle's Navy |
There’s memories i’d pay to remove |
I’d cut them out myself |
If that were possible |
The kind you cry yourself blind about |
The kind that choke you out |
Choke you out |
I had an uncle who was not by blood |
He loved to scare all the little girls away |
And if you’re tender-hearted |
You should stop the tape |
Stop the tape |
He pulled the heads off of garter snakes |
I cried so helpless for those |
Silent creatures |
Twisting away from |
The horror |
In the tarpit sea |
Memories wear thick coats |
The kind that pull you down |
But in refusing to drown |
You’re choked into the shape of |
A sailor |
Deputized by the cruel god of children |
No running water in his soul. |
Just a hole |
That echoed when he’d call your name |
From down the hall |
His name was a command |
That cuts the ears off fighting dogs |
And wipes the knife |
On his militia pants |
Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh |
Mercurochrome and merthiolate stans, oh |
And he’s braggin' all the while |
«if i say that black is blue, it’s blue. |
Black is blue, if i say it is.» |
I never wondered what made him that way |
Bullies are not born |
They are pressed into a form |
And i hated those who gave him access |
To our days |
The ones who did nothin' |
I still can’t love them |
Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh |
Mercurochrome and merthiolate stans, oh |
