even though i have tears in my eyes
i bit my tongue and said nothing
even though i tasted blood in my mouth
i cast my eyes down and said nothing
but yesterday i bought a gun
that is how crazy i have become
today i did not clean the house or cooked food
this will get you in a really bad mood
but for once i do not give a ****
waiting for the doors grand slam
to announce the master of my demise
my husband, but actually the devil in disguise
oh what a surprise await you my dear
for the first  time in your life you will learn fear
you will beg while you spill tears like a flood
you will beg while you taste your own blood
and you will never again see the sun rise
and i will not ever again have to listen to your lies

even though i have tears in my eyes
i bit my tongue and said nothing
even though i tasted blood in my mouth
i cast my eyes down and said nothing
but yesterday i bought a gun
that is how crazy i have become
today i hired a man to dig a hole six feet deep
told him i am going to start a compost heap
now i am sitting on the love swing in the back yard
close to the compost hole in which you will do your part
for the garden I am going to create in the next year
hurry home my dear
