Silver Chain Lyrics by Rowland S. Howard

Teenage Snuff Film

0

[Verse 1]
Fear and self loathing
Forged a chain of silver ore
By the time I stop singing
You won't love me anymore
I ran to the river
Crying, "river cure me"
But the river just laughed
Washing sand over me
[Chorus]
Girl child your daddy's
Silver chain's nine miles long
From every link of that chain
Hangs a heart he has wronged
Little girl take the length
Of your father's bright chain
And bind me to you
I don't care what you do
[Verse 2]
I ran to the fire
"Fire purify me"
The fire licked my skin
But it did not set me free
I turned to the bottle
"Alcohol cure me
Let me sleep without dreaming"
Alcohol lied to me
[Chorus]
Girl child your daddy's
Silver chain's nine miles long
From every link of that chain
Hangs a heart he has wronged
Little girl take the length
Of your father's bright chain
And bind me to you
I don't care what you do
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
I spoke to the forest
I spoke to the trees
I spoke to the river
But it did not speak to me
I carved your name
In the cypress tree bark
I tattooed your name
In a ring round my heart
I wore out my welcome
I wore out myself
I wore out my reason
I wore out my health
I forgot my name
On the day that you came...
[Chorus]
Girl child your daddy's
Silver chain's nine miles long
From every link of that chain
Hangs a heart he has wronged
Little girl take the length
Of your father's bright chain
And bind me to you
I don't care what you do
