A Darksome Cloud of Locusts Swarming Down

The fight started in the bedroom Then moved into the hall It's not good at all When it moves into the hall Some dad was yelling much too loudly Then moved into the hall It's not good at all When it moves into the hall Some mom was getting pretty angry Then she pushed into the hall It's not good at all When it moves into the hall It's not good at all When it moves into the hall It's not good at all When it moves into the hall It started in the bedroom Then moved into the hall The bullshit started in the bedroom Then moved into the hall That's when they could Never go back again That's when they could Never go back again That's when they could Never go back again Because Mandy hears it all Now that it moved into the hall Every single word Mandy hears it all Otis got quite upset When it moved into the hall He shakes behind her teeth And stays so very small The fight started in the bedroom Then moved into the hall That's not good at all When it moves into the hall The fight started in the bedroom Then moved into the hall That's not good at all When it moves into the hall That's not good at all When it moves into the hall That's not good at all When it moves into the hall "That's not my daughter," Some dad screams "That's not my daughter" "It's some sick fucking thing," He screams "She's not my daughter" "She's a miracle," Some mom screams "A goddamn miracle" The father stares and glares And he waits almost a minute And he waits until the silence To fully engulfs them Both parents pant in unison Like they were busy fucking Instead of fucking up Poor Mandy's life With this traumatic bullshit "I'm not a monster," Mandy says She stands in her doorway Otis taps behind her teeth Nervously waiting "I don't know what you are," Some father spits "But you're not my daughter "And you can't stay here" "She's staying" "She's going" "You can't do that" "She's going" "You can't do that" "I said she's going" "Monster" "Monster" "Monster" "Monster" "Monster" "Monster" "Monster" Then from behind a tooth Otis grows so large Tumbling out of Mandy's mouth He grows so very large Otis grow until he fills the hall Floor to ceiling And wall to wall He grows until He takes up every inch Of every space between the place Where Mandy stands And her pants stand Otis expands Otis expands Otis expands Otis expands And then he devours "No," Mandy screams But he devours "No," Mandy screams He devours And Mandy forgets No mom and no dad It's as if parents Mandy has never had No mom and no dad It's as if parents Mandy has never had And just like that It's like Mandy never had A mom and a dad
