They found Amtwo dogs hung from elecCtrical pylons,
Gby their hind legs jEmust down from my road.
You sAmlit their bellies open left the knCife inside,
they'd riGpped off our collars, we had noEmwhere to hide.
Do you feel the sAmweat drip?
Wake up when your heCarts skips.
4am you're screGaming, 'Mother, swear I am a gEmood kid'.
I lean across to tAmake the wheel,
whilst so far blisters foCrm and heal,
compose a mental liGst of subtle ways to broach the pEmoint again.
FTake my callous hand,sink these bloody fingers,
AmToo many flesh suppers,
Too many scents linger.
FTake my callous hand,sGink these bloody fingers,
FToo many fAmlesh suppers,
FToo many sEmcents linger.
AmYou take the bed and IC'll take the floor,
GI'll block the draft that comes uEmnder the door.
AmYou take the sheets and IC'll wrap in clothes,
GI overpack to kEmeep out the cold.
FTake my callous hand,sink these bloody fingers,
AmToo many flesh suppers,
Too many scents linger.
FTake my callous hand,sGink these bloody fingers,
FToo many fAmlesh suppers,
FToo many sEmcents linger.

CI plunge my hand deep like child scrFaping around jam jar,
CUnwieldy as teenagers reach bAmelow his lover's bFelt line.
The poCwer that I felt, when you loFoked me in the eye,
And said 'I proCmise boy, I'll never let you Amsee me cry'.F

You dCon't pay back the debt you owe your paFrents for birth,
Cby giving Grandkids in reAmturn.
You waFtch them GdiDme.
CThrough your declining eyFes.
My clanGdestine, broken cDmage,
Cwe'll keep them secret, 'cause there's Amno other wFay.
You ripped off my flesh and my heart gripped the ribs like a prisoner.
