[Verse 1]
Six weeks since we last ate
Six weeks we’ve been taught
Six weeks the phone’s been ringing
And now the sheriff’s at the door
[Verse 2]
At two weeks my insides screamed
I was coughing up blood by three
By four my father couldn’t take it
And hung himself in the yard from the oak tree
[Verse 3]
My mother said be patient
It’s what God said to her
Get down on your knees and pray with me
You won’t get blessings you don’t deserve
[Hook]
See how far
See how long
A little will go
Jesus Christ, he loves me
This I know
[Verse 4]
The bedsheets stained with my sister’s waste
My brother’s eyes crusted shut
The dogs stopped crying weeks ago
With my hands digging deep inside their guts
Six weeks since we last ate
Six weeks we’ve been taught
Six weeks the phone’s been ringing
And now the sheriff’s at the door

And hung himself in the yard from the oak tree
