about

This song catalogues the intersections of alcoholism and domestic abuse, attempting to honestly tell the story from the side of the abuser as they finally accept what they’ve done.

lyrics

There's blood on her mouth, blood on the bottle
and she aint answering your call
when she's pressed she says she's clumsy
we both know that weren't no fall
that man's no good

nobody ever told her that she's lovely
that she's worth so much more than that
I tried to tell her once that I was different
she just said I've got my man
that man's no good

we went out the other night
by the illumination of 60 watt candlelight
we drank till it was fine
that's when I lost my mind
that old argument did rear
I awoke alone here
my knuckles bruised and raw
I cannot help losing her

There's blood on her mouth blood on the bottle
when I saw her on hte streets this afternoon
I tried to ask her, do you have some place to stay
she just turned away
she just turned away
I can't keep her safe
no I can't keep her safe
when the booze takes me away
this man's no good.
