lyrics

Across the sand,
across the sand...

I sighted you in the greasy water,
a soggy bag of face with mollusk eyes,
your weed-tongue gleaming.

Yeah, I could smell you across the shore...

You taught me to swim
without sinking down,
but now brother I've taught you how to drown.

I've taught you
how to be your sister's keeper.

You threw me down,
way down the stairs,
and I'm not sure I ever stopped falling.

And your eyes shine,
you stupid, violent men.

Across the sand...

You plead to me with dead eyes
and minnow mouth,
and I remember how I loved you.

I saw what you did
to your loving wife -
to every woman in your life.

I saw you
sink everyone
in the pull of your hate.

You were brave,
and kind and strong.
Do you even know what the fuck went wrong?

I couldn't stand the fucking thought
of you abusing your only son
And raising him to be a monster
who brutalizes everyone
just like you.
