The story of a girl who’s abused by her brother in their own home. ‘Charlie Potatoes’ is a slang term for a man who (thinks) he can do anything he wants.
[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
I awake from blood thick dreams
Washing blame from my knees
Softly done, so secretly
I'm awake as Charlie sleeps
[Chorus]
A lone brother
A lone sister
A home cover
Alone
[Verse 2]
I awake - try to scream
Spit the vile breath
Till my tongue bleeds
Thinks it's all gone - famously
Broke the hard girl, good to please
[Chorus]
A lone brother
A lone sister
A home cover
Alone
[Bridge]
Tell it like it is
Tell it like it is
Tell the sordid truth
Tell them
Tell it like it is, tell them
[Chorus]
A lone brother
A lone sister
A home cover
Alone
[Outro]
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Yeah
