Protest The Hero - She Who Mars the Skin of Gods lyrics

"Kezia, my darling, please, never forget
This world's got the substance of
A frozen summer silhouette, "
Said my mother through lips that were
Cracked with love and toil before she added
"the warmest of blankets is six feet of soil"

She wore a perfume called "Pride" that
Smells a lot more like "Shame"
So when she walked into the
Room I was sleeping
I heard her curse my father's name
It was our situation, our position
Our gender to blame

It was the lonely grey of my father's
Eyes staring back in the mirror's frame
It was the lonely grey of my father's
Eyes staring back in the mirror's frame

"Mother Oh Mother, I'm shaking while I write
Tonight I'll stay awake and try
To breathe away my fright"
"Mother Oh Mother, I'm shaking while I write
Tonight I'll stay awake and try
To breathe away my fright"

There's a letter waiting for me
That I have yet to read
There's a letter waiting for me
That I have yet to read
'Cause, I know it's not from you
And you're the only one I need
You're the only one I need i'm tired
And I'm cold and I want to go to bed
But there's no one here to tuck me in
So the shotgun will instead
(I'm tired i'm cold)
This shotgun will instead
(I want to go to bed, I want to go to bed)
I want to (No one here to tuck me in)
So this shotgun will
