lyrics

Set: warm fire, shot of whiskey.
Enter daughter, stepping briskly.
Father asks why she’s not sleeping.
Daughter stammers, eyes still bleeding:

“I know now just why she left you.
You think only God can judge you;
but I’m here and I’m still breathing ––
You’re a coward, a drunk, beyond believing.”

Six pretty little circles carved in metal, cold and dark, butthere’s
One empty, empty hole still smoking, pointing to herho__opeless
Beady little eyes with all the claw-marks and the bloodstill dripping
Deeper in the grooves of hardwood floor.

Curtains close on act one’s ending.
Father grows pale, plot ascending.
Rising themes of feigned contrition,
His heartbeat slows to intermission.

[lets all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat]

Six pretty little circles carved in metal, cold and dark butthere’s
One empty, empty holes still smoking, pointing to hisho__opeless
Pockets full of lies with all the tan-lines and the cumstill dripping
Deeper in the grooves of hardwood floooor....

FloOOOOooor...

FLLOOOORRrrr.....

fffffllllllllllLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH-OOOOOOOOOOORRRRRR
[FFFFLLLLLLAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
