D.C. Maxwell - Faultline Lyrics

Baby I'm a family man
I haven't missed a day of work for thirty-five years
But if you look at me with those eyes again well I won't go

You see right through
My lies and façades
You crack right down to the core of my life like a faultline

And I pay you for your time
And of course I come at the end
But what is spilling your seed on a motel room floor to true love

I'd slit my own throat
I'd murder my wife
I'd rob a f*cking bank and I'd give it all to you if you asked nice

Baby for one hour a week
I'm someone that doesn't have to speak
You light up corners of my soul
That I'd forgotten or I'd never known

I'm a big man around town they all know my name,
Handshakes and smiles as I glide through the day
But like a nightman in the daylight I got filth on the brain and it's constant

I talk to my children say hello to my wife
They ask about my day but know nothing of my life
Because I'm only alive for an hour at a time then the time's up

I take off my clothes and I lay on the floor
I'm in this repose when she walks through the door
She puts a gag in my mouth and a belt around my throat and I'm helpless

When she bloodies my lips I can speak of romance
When there's piss on my chest my heart beats so fast
And when she pulls on that belt and my eyes roll back then I know love

Baby I'm a family man
I haven't missed a day of work for thirty-five years
But if you look at me with those eyes again well I won't go
