Maintenance

Maintenance

I’m just a small child
I don’t need to be exposed
watching you smoke
breathing in excess
my lungs shrivel
asthma pains me
and you look and say
nothing sleep little boy
I’m scared and alone
bloody hemorrhage
from the nose
and tracing tracks

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

I don’t know if I’m ready
I’m still in school
it’s too fast
no means no
get off
but I’m weak
and you’re too strong
hold me down with arms
I hope it feels good because I’ll kill you
and whatever you leave inside me
I’m done with you too

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

Why because I’m that parent
oh just fucking do it
you stupid brat do it or I’ll
or I’ll
bruised and crying
I’m just like her
I’m just like him
baby mommy’s sorry
I don’t know why
I forget myself
I’ll go dry
I’ll be sober I
don’t forgive me
I should’ve controlled
maybe if your father
no it’s my responsibility
but if only I had help

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
