The Truth About Daddy
Father please come to me
And tell me that you always loved me
Tell me the days on the sea
So maybe for a moment my soul becomes free
Years ago we all stood
Snugly in our winter hoods
We danced and played in the snow
Then you looked at your watch and it was time to go
We got in our truck and drove away
Not very happily because its far away
For mother to let me stay
Much happier that way
Your eyes told me one thing
As you spoke another
In this car
Was my sleeping brother
He stirred to find
Daddy's piece of mind
About what mommy's really like
And to think we didn't mind the fight
As they carried on all night
Things from their normal places took flight
Courage filled my little mind
I stepped in the room one last time
Our family became broken and disturbed
Then daddy was kicked to the curb
Still the fights carried on
Like some very angry rap song
Then one day I came to find
What happens inside my daddy's mind
He pulls the trigger
Then a squeeze
Shortly after I fall to my knees
I begin to cry
As I watch him die
I remember the days
When I was young
And there was still a sun
