Sounds

a loud bang

what’s that sound that i hear?

my ears listen intently, my eyes bulge out with fear

i’m in pain; as i hear him crash

she claims shes quitting this family but she goes no where fast.

the water is poisoned, and so is this house

dead or alive, i need to get out

God, tell me what’s this sound that i hear, this is my home and its hostile here and I fear, and I shout. ‘Cause I have nothing left other than my voice and my fists and my kicks…I’m done with this.

Lisa screams; she was the quiet one

her wailing is enough for me to pully out my gun and Dad falls; in a drunken trance.  I’m locked in my room but I want to take a quick glance.

Broken Glass, is grazed all on the floor.  I pick up the pieces I can’t do this no more.

But i laugh…my laughter takes me away.  I keep locked in my mind tomorrow’s another day.

God, tell me what’s this sound that i hear, this is my home and its hostile here and I fear, and I shout. ‘Cause I have nothing left other than my voice and my fists and my kicks…I’m done with this.

I gotta stay strong,

I tell myself it won’t be long….until I sing a happier song.

It won’t be long.  It won’t be long.  It won’t be long. I’m so gone.
