Song Notes:
This one is about a kid who used to hang out with Kurt's first drug-dealer in Aberdeen. This kid came from a family who tortured their children, and kept them all in one room with black-painted windows and a pile of newspapers for toilet. The authorities later found out and took the kids away.
The lyrics also seem to contain elements from Kurt's relationship with his mother.


Song Lyrics:
When I'm feeling tired
She pushes food through the door
I crawl towards the cracks of light
Sometimes I can't find my way
Newspapers spread around
Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due again
A gun holds me down

The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twist and masturbate

I say so (x3)
Nirvana (x6)

Black windows of paint
I scratch with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?
They bring out the older ones
They point in my way
They come with the flashing lights
And take my family away

And very later I am known to
Slap some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I'm here with you!

Don't taaake
Me awaaay
I've found
Nirvana (x8)
