There is a strange feeling of contempt in my home I've grown used to the beatings Whether it be a tongue lashing or being dragged across the halls Both feel the same, I no longer cry, I feel only emptiness I expect it now, the scent of bourbon seems to follow it home It clings to all life and ***** it dry, a concubine not fit to marry We keep it in our closets, behind shallow doors that do not shut As if to hide them.

Contempt
There is a strange feeling of contempt in my home I've grown used to the beatings Whether it be a tongue lashing or being dragged across the halls Both feel the same, I no longer cry, I feel only emptiness I expect it now, the scent of bourbon seems to follow it home It clings to all life and ***** it dry, a concubine not fit to marry We keep it in our closets, behind shallow doors that do not shut As if to hide them.
