this song for some reason just sticks with me alot lol.

so i thought i'd share my interpretation of this song...

it starts in a living room, a man in a chair drinking a

beer or whatever, sitting staring at nothing and speaking

to a sniffling adolescent male. and in a emotionless and

slightly evil tone he begins telling the boy his life story...

"all my life i've never wanted kids. so far as to make my

women get abortions. i've stuck my dick in everything from

strippers to cowgirls. and i swear if you start crying i'll tear

your eyes out. now then your mother was a whore, and if

you say anything i'll kill your family too. i'm a piece of shit and i know it.

and i want to kill myself, but i stick through it."

"you'll get yours" the boy mumbles under his breath and the man hears it.

" you hear your mother anywhere? i drowned her and stuck her

in the corner and you're not going to do shit about it. so fuck off and

listen to your music or go watch some action movie and wish you were as tough as them."

switch to fresh orphaned child a few years later

he sits writing music to have a place to pour out his

emotions instead of bottling them, then one day he writes a

song fantasizing about killing the man that killed his

mother. all the evil thing he would do with the corpse to

defile it. he keeps remembering that one day the murderous

man's day will come and it will be him to exact revenge.

one day he finally breaks and kills the man, but during

that he's panicking looking for a way to hide the

body; bury it, grind it up and flush it, nothing,

and he starts thinking people have known what he's done.

so int he end he finally decides to cut the body up,

pack it in a satchel or suitcase and burn it.

mike patton is a fucking genius.
