Family Portriat
-
Father looked so happy smiling down on us
Petting our dog who lives a life of lust
Mother is hugging us and pulling us close
But that portraits gone-been painted long ago
-
Father is in the kitchen at half past four
Its dark and cold as another drink he pours
Mother is dreaming dreams about cold winter snow
But that portraits gone-been painted long ago
-
Father isn't home he's working late yet again
He's been working late a lot and its already 3am
Mother is sitting at the table reading E.
But that portraits gone-been painted long ago
-
Father is crying while he watches Mother leave
He's never felt so bad since Grandmothers grave
He looks at us darkly and we are tempted to go
But that portraits gone-been painted long ago
-
Father comes home and he smells very rank
I think he fell in a ditch cause he really stank
He reaches down and hits us and we fall against the wall
I'm not fond of this picture at all
-
Father is old now and big brother has a kid
She's crying through her blood wishing she were dead
I think hard on these facts and two hearts I have to mend
Will this chain of abuse ever meet its end?
