I guess I need psychiatric help, but to me this song is clearly about a young girl (P Girl) whose Mother (the witch) is abusive. She's abusive to the extent that she may allow her lover (boyfriend/husband) to abuse the child sexually or at least look the other way. The imagery of "sour milk" and "Your milk has a dick" is obviously her being forced to do things young girls shouldn't even have knowledge about. He gains her trust by allowing her to tell her things but then uses that to make her stay quiet as evident in the opening few lines. The "blister" bit is her sexual dysfunction as a result, she is "touching: excessively meaning herself and others because she has been psychologically traumatized and no longer understands what personal boundaries are because she is a child. "Makes me mind" is her retreat within herself to deal with the pain and horror.
@redly40 The more I think about it, the more I think you're right about the song being about abuse. I interpret the line "Your milk makes me mind" differently though. I think it depicts a sick cycle of abuse. She acts out because she was abused then is punished with abuse for acting out. So she's saying "Your milk makes me reluctant to misbehave".

Also, I'd like to add that the line "Your milk has a dye" convinced me. I think it's basically saying your bodily fluids stain.

The lyrics look so simple and...
The lyrics look so simple and I took them to be nonsense, but these are actually really deep. Not a line is wasted.
