My Uncle's Navy

[00:20.38] There's memories I'd pay to remove

[00:23.63] I'd cut them out myself if that were possible

[00:28.62] The kind you cry yourself blind about

[00:31.63] The kind that choke you out

[00:34.37] Choke you out

[00:37.37] Had an uncle who was not by blood

[00:41.13] Liked to scare all the little girls away

[00:46.38] And if you're tenderhearted you should stop the tape

[00:50.88] Snap the tape

[00:53.63] He pulled the heads off of garter snakes

[00:57.63] I cried so helpless for those silent creatures

[01:01.87] You know I cried so hard I pissed myself

[01:05.13] Twistin' away from the horror

[01:14.38] In the tarpit sea

[01:18.37] Memories wear thick coats

[01:22.13] The kind that pull you down

[01:23.87] But in refusin' to drown

[01:25.63] You're choked into the shape

[01:30.63] Of a sailor

[01:34.13] A sailor

[01:39.38] Deputized by the cruel god of children

[01:42.38] No running water in his soul, just a hole

[01:47.38] That echoed when he'd call your name from down the hall

[01:55.38] His name was a command that cuts the ears off fightin' dogs

[01:59.38] Then wipes the knife on his militia pants

[02:03.63] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[02:07.38] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[02:15.88] And he's braggin' all the while

[02:18.38] "If I say that black is blue it's blue, black is blue if I say it is"

[02:25.63] "Black is blue, black is blue if I say it is"

[02:33.88] I never wondered what made him that way

[02:37.63] Bullies are not born, they're pressed into a form

[02:42.13] And I hated those who gave him access to our days

[02:47.63] The ones who did nothin'

[02:49.63] I still can't love them

[02:52.38] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[02:55.38] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[03:00.88] In the tarpit sea

[03:04.63] Memories wear thick coats

[03:07.88] The kind that pull you down

[03:09.88] But in refusin' to drown

[03:11.88] You're choked into the shape

[03:13.88] Of a sailor

[03:20.38] A sailor

[03:24.63] A sailor

[03:33.63] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[03:37.13] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[03:41.13] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[03:45.37] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[03:49.38] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[03:53.63] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[03:58.13] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

[04:01.88] Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh
