lyrics

Like rocks and sticks
A hammer for the brightest witch

I wish I was stronger
That words made it stop
But god loves the capital
And god loves the cops
I've watched him for years now
Tying favors and knots
He likes all the young ones
He likes when they--

Piggy piggy, cut your stomach with a knife
A town of wolves came running
With babes in their jaw
I tried to remove all your teeth
But they took away my voice
A predator with no bite
I can only imagine

(In the alley, in the night)

I wanted to be pure
But you made me ugly
You made me hate
Piggy piggy with a knife
They didn't believe me
Piggy piggy in the night
I hate what you did to me
I hate how I fight

Get revenge
Cave some skulls
Maybe even make a difference

Keep your head down, boy
I know what you hide
I will drag you through the mud
Since that's where you love to lie
Love to lie

I wanted to be pure
But you made me ugly
You made me hate
Piggy piggy with a knife
They didn't believe me
Piggy piggy in the night
I hate what you did to me
I hate how I fight

Grocery store predator
Hand made by the god of ugly things
Draped with a delicate cloth
By the powers that be
Blood for the machine
Comfort for the people eaters
Pigs in a fucking blanket

I have an aching need
To understand you
And I can never
Understand you
And your mechanisms
I am not built to be sustained
And neither are you
Neither are you
Neither are you
Neither are you
Neither are--
