i know, sweet sister
how it feels to be
|turned inside out|
thrown to the wolves
i know, i know, i know.

enemies at the gates?
i know.
women like snakes?
i know.
feel yourself clawing to the surface?
i know.

no words will suffice
no words will mend
no words spit
and no words cried
i know, i know, i know.

lies upon lies upon lies?
i know.
still you care?
| i know |

nowhere to turn?
i know.
rage to waken the devil?
i know.
sadness.
| i know |

and
| i know you |
and i would be
*nothing without you.
