I awake From blood thick dreams Washing blame From my knees Softly done So secretly I'm awake As Charlie sleeps A lone brother, a lone sister A home cover, alone I awake Dry the scream Spit the vile breath Till my tongue bleeds Thinks it's all gone Famously Broke the hard girl Good to please A lone brother, a lone sister A home cover, alone Tell it like it is Tell it like it is Tell the sordid truth Tell them Tell it like it is Tell them A lone brother, a lone sister A home cover, alone Alone, alone, alone, alone, yeah
