Blood Stain

 

These brick walls were made too thick

I couldn’t knock them down even if I was to try

Then again, why would I do it

It’s best I leave you guys outside

A voice tells me my home is too deep, all that you don’t know

 

Mama’s on the floor, she banged her head again

Cursing at the floor, someone call a paramedic

Sis wasn’t there, it was only me instead, and I didn’t know

I didn’t know blood would leave its stain

I wouldn’t confess this to anyone

Still confused, what I did to deserve this life of horror and suspense

Never knowing what to expect next

Is this the last hit before Mama’s taken

 

Blubbering out all nonsense

Waking me up in the middle of the night

Breaking my back just to fix this, then go back to sleep to meet my dreams

Wish there was an antidote to change shit

Take steps back to how your health use to be

Would I have a better handle if I was older

And you’re still young
