Fear and self loathingnForged a chain of silver orenBy the time I stop singingnYou won't love me anymorenI ran to the rivernCrying, river cure menBut the river just laughednWashing sand over mennGirl child your daddy'snSilver chain's nine miles longnFrom every link of that chainnHangs a heart he has wrongednLittle girl take the lengthnOf your father's bright chainnAnd bind me to younI don't care what you donnI ran to the firenFire purify menThe fire licked my skinnBut it did not set me freenI turned to the bottlenAlcohol cure menLet me sleep without dreamingnAlcohol lied to mennGirl child your daddy'snSilver chain's nine miles longnFrom every link of that chainnHangs a heart he has wrongednLittle girl take the lengthnOf your father's bright chainnAnd bind me to younI don't care what you donnI spoke to the forestnI spoke to the treesnI spoke to the rivernBut it did not speak to menI carved your namenIn the cypress tree barknI tattooed your namenIn a ring round my heartnnI wore out my welcomenI wore out myselfnI wore out my reasonnI wore out my healthnI forgot my namenOn the day that you came...nnGirl child your daddy'snSilver chain's nine miles longnFrom every link of that chainnHangs a heart he has wrongednLittle girl take the lengthnOf your father's bright chainnAnd bind me to younI don't care what you do
