Oh Michal
Brother Michal, now it's time for you to sleep
It's only you and me, and seven years
Of memories. The echo of a child's scream
And smell of sickness still haunt me. You're slow
Across the edges, on the uptake, all around
So Michal
Brother Michal, say good night and rest
Your head upon the ground
Dearest Mother
My dark Mother, sleeping soundly
Down the well. Please remember, so
Dismembered, every fairy tale you'd tell
Did your art excuse the fashion?
Did it justify the means and twisted torture
That your oldest son endured before
I put you both to sleep?
Our Father
Fascist Father, floating freely underground
Rest in peaceful little pieces with the one you
Love and I will make you proud with every
Last fantastic fable that was never fit for print
Oh Father
Our Father, pardon please your thrice
Named child of your first and greatest sin
But I'll just keep on smiling until
I am not alive, alive, oh
Pillowman please take my hand
And squeeze me-softly, sweetly
Until I die
Now I'm lying alone
I'm dying unknown
I'll roam and roam 'til I'm the bone of your bone
Poison my drink
If I sleep, snore, or wink
Once forgetting to think
Of your lying alone
Now I'm bothered and dead
So keep alone in my head
All the things that she said
Wore the heart of a stone
Now I'm lying alone
You're dying unknown
I'll roar and I'll groan 'til I'm all skin and bones
Until I die
Alive
