lyrics

“Go on and cut me out of your life!” she screamed. The front door slammed. The baby stayed asleep. The stagnant summer air couldn’t permeate her dreams with a child inside. For all the men who never loved their wives, with two twin beds on opposite sides, a crucifix hangs where the room divides, because we all need something to believe in when we die. We’re all so much older now. She stayed locked up inside with a bible and her shining eyes. It’s more than bad news with your bruises and your tattoos.

The baby had his father’s eyes with his hair parted to the side. Before he even learned how to say Goodbye, his old man walked out of his life. That’s what they call “growing up hard,” too young to tell the birth marks from the scars. If you’ve never come home to food on the stove it doesn’t hurt so bad to starve. So believe me when I die, I’m going to keep you in my mind. There’s no coffin where I’ll reside, just scatter my ashes on the countryside where I’ll be free from the abuse. No more statements to refuse. No excuses for the black a blues. No more bruises and no tattoos.
