Darkness spreads throughout the town
Been a nice day
And you think that nothing could bring you down
Now as you sit where you last grieved
Listening to the distant voices
You wonder how you could’ve been so deceived
The yelling becomes more
She screams in the night
Then you hear the slamming of a door
It’s always the same
No longer do you listen
Can’t stand the pain
No one notices you
Sitting alone in the dark
And there’s nothing you can do
Hiding in the shadows of life
Sit quietly and cry
Go ahead and release the strife
The voices now are dying
But still their voices you hear
Out of the night comes painful crying
Sneak back to your bed
Down the dark hall
Desperately tying to forget what was said
How many nights now?
How many have you spent crying yourself to sleep?
Must move on somehow
But where can a five year old go?
Questions with answers you don’t know
Sleep now little one
You’re too young to bear such burdens
You should be out having fun…
The voices fade with the night
When will it all stop
How many times must they fight?
