lyrics

i mean, i paid for my neck
but it’s a chain of events, pray for the raising of dead
because my mum needs a mum, dad, husband or friend
shit, her son wasn’t there
always running to set, somewhere up in the west
she was encumbered by threats,
but she paid for that house,
every dollar and cent, plus she put me through school, she did that all by herself
man, she paid for that home
they labeled it ‘home’
that place that i’ve grown, strange faces that mould when cancer makes it a home
and she paid for those surgeries
sixth birthday at my aunt’s, because the day just before peter’s palms had cath constricted, like a snake or a rope
but a day later they were taking me home
now me and mum eating alone in that place that she choked
salmon on the same set of plates that he’d thrown
man, she paid for those plates
look at peter trying to make it his stage,
left a name, a carton and a box of his clothes,
but man she paid for all those
and it took those curtains closing just to make it a home
