The narrator leaves Brother Mike and seeks a different way to live while reflecting on his relationship with Mr. Mister.
lyrics
I took my sin-in-skin down to the river
oh a believer sang,
“soak in shame till you shiver”
so it seems that I will whither,
pour salt in my spine
you hand me fruit
cut straight from the vine,
i’ll choke on the rinds
don’t pay me no mind
don’t, really though
I’ve had my ups and I been down, but I find
i’m coming out of my mind
Hallelujah! Hello, doctor
I been closer to death than this
so I feel no pain before dinner
so it goes, i’ll be the sinner
my blood-thinner-woes
I know should be thicker for this
brother and sister of mine
my shame to deny
I cut the skin from my eye
oh, and…
don’t pay me no mind
no, don’t.
I seen a thing
and nothing
same thing I find
i’m coming out of my mind…

Your family sold you a love affair
about a man and a lover
she told her man she don’t wanna share
i’m sorry, sucker
she will wait for 10 years for a home
heart to heart-stone
if you can wait then you can still be Mrs. Mister
if you can masturbatorily glorify
his story for 10 years, my dear
your family sold you a love affair
about a wife and a mother
she told her man she was done with it,
“Fuck”, she said “ah! just like your father”
she will wait for 10 years on her own
he’s not alone, no…
If you can wait then you can still be Mrs. Mister
she’s done masturbatorily glorifying him
so he said she can fuck off for 10 years
Mr. Mister, New Guy Steve said
I look like your picture
so I took it out the frame
and but that bitch up to the flames..
