father
he cried with his fists one evening
his eyes were ablaze from all he consumed
mother
she crawls down the stairs in the morning
she's black and blue
broken and bruised
black and blue
broken and bruised
she crawls to her room and she screams her hardest
lets the voices inside her head bleed into one
she hears his footsteps alone in the darkness
she closes her eyes and prays for her son
closes her eyes and prays for her son
but no
her son doesn't come
and no
her son doesn't come
now all i remember is reading your letter
saying i'm leaving
