about

This song begins with the original recording, which was actually a short joke piece of me setting up the song. It is based on an amalgamation of two abusive ex girlfriends who both happened to have prematurely aged faces. I only had my first girlfriend that year and lost my virginity to her at 19. In as way it is almost like I had to write the intro, get some life experience, and come back to it thirty years later. I think the results are worth the wait, don't you?

lyrics

Cancer's using her up and the sickness inside | from the years of abuse | is a void in her hard cold eyes
Smoking and drinking | and haunted like a recluse | its all written in her face | and those deep weary lines
She's been dragged down life's road | so long that she looks | ten times her real age | and those dry lips are bitter
She's locked me in a cage | she's filled me with rage | and page after page of my own soul | to her are just litter

(Sometimes) when my head's not right and I just wanna cry ugly shoulders I need , need that dark embrace
(Sometimes) I need someone who's tough when the road is too rough and just want to die, hold me leatherface
(Sometimes) I can't carry the weight I need someone to hate, and it's getting too late, I can't quit her.
(Sometimes) when my head's not right and I just wanna cry there is nothing more sweet, than bitter
My love's isn't properly placed
I'm so trapped by Leatherface

Every where I go with the psycho | she's got to make a scene | it's like falling hopelessly in love | with Jame Gumb or Ed Gein
I gnawed off my own leg | to get out of her trap | yet I keep crawling back | she's obscene and a danger like Ed Gein
She's been dragged down life's road | so long that she looks | ten times her real age | and those dry lips are bitter
She's locked me in a cage | she's filled me with rage | and page after page of my own soul | to her are just litter

(Sometimes) when my head's not right and I just wanna cry ugly shoulders I need , need that dark embrace
(Sometimes) I need someone who's tough when the road is too rough and just want to die, hold me leatherface
(Sometimes) I can't carry the weight I need someone to hate, and it's getting too late, I can't quit her.
(Sometimes) when my head's not right and I just wanna cry there is nothing more sweet, than bitter
My love's isn't properly placed
I'm so trapped by Leatherface
My heart wants to race
run away from leatherface
