lyrics

A little boy runs in circles in
A broken haven
His nose is running hot with blood
And his palms are aching

And on the carpet under which
He hides his semen
He feels the shape of a small hole
With his toes

He feels afraid for now he knows
That he won't stop thinking
He'll quench himself in chlorine juice
For his fifteenth birthday

A screaming in the sky
Here am I sitting in my kitchen
All afraid and I don't know why

He'll place himself somewhere in space
Right were nothing hurts more
He'll run away from the police
Somewhere in Damascus

He'll punch the teeth off of a kid
Underneath an oak tree
He won't try hard to come back home
Once he's gone

A screaming in the sky
Here am I sitting in my kitchen
All afraid and I don't know why
