Helpless Child Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now you be the mother and
I'll be your fool
I'll hide myself deep inside
Your crimson pool
The muddy water runs
Beneath your folds
You won't let me breathe;
You won't let me go
Now you'll be the stranger and
I'll be the white-skinned son
You'll blacken my innocence
With sugar and opium

[Verse 2]
The children were suffocating
Down in your damp cave
And you were the mother
And I was the sleeping slave
Protect me from violence
Hold me in your cool lips
You'll drug me with kindness
So I can pretend I exist
Now you be the only child
I'll suck on your breast
You'll feed me with gasoline
I'll burn my name in your head

[Instrumental]
