LYRIC FOR SALE

By Thorsten Gabriel

Your father locked you up
Yeah
For how long
Always

You can't open the windows
So no one jumps out
Or hurts themselves
Then how do I get out of here
When they bring you here
You stay a long time
That’s not possible
What do you want out there anyway

I’m so glad to be away from my shitty parents
You don’t speak ill of your family
Do you mean my mother
Who goes around whoring all over town
Or some new shitty hookup
Everyone out there is just an asshole anyway
It’s true
In here we’re safe
We have food sleep pills
No one to hurt us

Didn't you see him
Don't panic just someone walking by
She’s crazy I’m telling you
Well crazier than the average person here at least
Just a killer girl you know
He hears everything he sees everything
Who Your father
There are cameras everywhere
The outside door is locked no one can get in
It’s locked so I can’t get out right

Dad Please don't be mad anymore
That my sister wasn't good
She loves you I know that
Please bring some food down again
I’m so tired
And where’s Mom
Why isn't she allowed to come to me
I feel so alone

Do you have books Sure
Dad brings us books
And if you aren't good
Then we don't have books
Then we don't have food and only darkness
Does he hurt you Yes
But he used a condom
He wants to protect us after all
And our mother is in the basement too

Now I hear footsteps no more voices
I can't let myself be discovered
I feel choked up they're looking for me
Papa can do anything he can go anywhere
Mama where were you for so long
Papa was confused
But now I'm here
Was he angry with me
You know that Papa sees everything

That you called for help again
That you didn't sleep properly
You have to be good yes
I promised him I would
He shaved us smooth
So we'd be like girls
Tied to the bed made submissive
Now maybe he'll give us a chance

Does my sister have enough to eat
I just want to understand what's going on
Please can I see Papa
I just want to know why he's doing all this
Maybe not all people are terrible
Did he hurt her
Because I'm not eating anymore not being good anymore
Not opening my legs anymore

We can't stay here anymore
I want to get out of here
Officially we died
And unofficially we're already dead
None of this would have happened
If you hadn't run away
I told you didn't I
The world is an evil place
I'll look after you your Papa
