Mythological Beauty

Lyrics

You have a mythological beauty
 You have the eye of someone i have seen
 Outside of ordinary situations
 Even outside of dreams
 You lie in bed at night and watch the lines of headlights through your screen
 There is a child inside you who is trying
 To raise the child in me
 If you wanna leave
 You just have to say
 You're all caught up inside
 But you know the way
 You cut the flesh of your left thumb
 Using your boyfriend's knife
 Seventeen you took his come
 And you gave birth to your first life
 You gave andrew a family who
 You thought could love and take better care
 I have an older brother i don't know
 He could be anywhere
 If you wanna leave
 You just have to say
 You're all caught up inside
 But you know the way
 You're all caught up inside
 But you know the way
 Rented a house in niswah, minnesota
 Shrapnel, and oil cans, rhubarb in the yard
 I built a ladder out of metal pieces
 Father was working hard
 Standing beneath the oak tree by the front door
 You were inside baking bread
 Sister came out and put her arms around me
 Blood gushing from my head
 You held me in the backseat with a dishrag
 Soaking up blood with your eye
 I was just 5 and you were 27 praying don't let my baby die
 If you wanna leave
 You just have to say
 You're all caught up inside
 But you know the way
 You're all caught up inside
 But you know the way
 So much more
 To live your life
 To walk the floor
 To say goodnight
 To leave your light on
 Do you leave you light on?
