Misery

There is a child and she sleeps in the gutter
 Don't close your eyes and she's easy to see
 She is not your child
 She's always another's
 And those you abandon
 They are left to me
 And know I will impale her like a knife
 Leave her twisting day after day after day of a very short life with me
 Listen now closely and hear how I've planned it
 Please let me tell you just how it will be
 She'll feel the pain but she won't understand it
 She'll think it's her fate
 But we'll know it's me
 And know I will impale her like a knife
 Leave her twisting day after day after day of a very short life
 With me
 So let me know
 Have I been clear
 That I will magnify each cut and every bruise and every single childhood tear
 I'll pick her scabs
 Cripple a hand
 Push a finger in each wound I make
 Now tell me then
 Do you understand
 You understand?
 You understand
 You understand?
 You understand
 And know I will impale her like a knife
 Leave her twisting day after day after day of a very short life
 With me
 With me
 With me
