Child Bride Lyrics
Child Bride
You were my best friend
'Til your dad slapped the living shit out of you
In front of me
And I could see
You leave your body
And I knew we were through
Well you let me keep your Dreamcast
When she picked up and moved you south
You didn't say
And I went one day to call on you
And found an empty house
Skeletor of the Liquor store
The bitch took you away
Some years later I played in Orlando
You came out and your hair was box dye black
You told me all about your new girlfriend
How she turned you on to crack
I said man I can't
My heart would
My heart would explode
Slow the years down
Lose your twenties
Loaded all the time
You were my best friend
'Til your dad slapped the living shit out of you
In front of me
And I could see
You leave your body
And I knew we were through
Well you let me keep your Dreamcast
When she picked up and moved you south
You didn't say
And I went one day to call on you
And found an empty house
Skeletor of the Liquor store
The bitch took you away
Some years later I played in Orlando
You came out and your hair was box dye black
You told me all about your new girlfriend
How she turned you on to crack
I said man I can't
My heart would
My heart would explode
Slow the years down
Lose your twenties
Loaded all the time

this song means a lot to me as a survivor of child abuse. i didn't turn to substance abuse but i turned to a lot of other things that i feel limited my potential and it meant a lot to hear a story like this on (what has become) one of my favorite albums.
