lyrics

From the night on night of endless fighting through the wall
To the week on week of making meek and shrinking small

When the bad words flow
I wonder where my memories go –
Down a big black hole?
Somewhere the walls are thick enough
To gird for every blow?

Beneath the empty promises there’s subtext in the eye:
“Drop a hint of that sass boy, and I’ll beat you till you die”

When the bad words flow
I wonder where my memories go –
Down a big black hole?
Somewhere the walls are thick enough
To gird for every blow?

Just a step away from heaven if you notice me
Just a step away from heaven if you notice me
Just a step away

When the bad words flow
I wonder where my memories go –
Down a big black hole?
Somewhere the walls are thick enough,
Are high enough,
Are old enough to survive every blow?
