How long must she stand before the ground?
It gives way to an endless fall
She can feel this war on her face
The stars on her pillow
She's folding in darkness, begging for slumber
I'm not blind, I can see it coming
Looks like lightning in my child's eye
I'm not frantic, I can feel it coming
Violently shakes my body
Her son's slanted
Always giving her the sideways eye
The empty chair where dad sits
How loud can silence get?
And mom, she reassures to contain him
But it's becoming a lie
She tells herself and everyone else
Father is risking his life for our freedoms
I'm not blind, I can see it coming
Looks like lightning in my child's eye
I'm not frantic, I can feel it coming
Darling you'll save me if you save yourself
It gives way to an endless fall
She can feel this war on her face
The stars on her pillow
She's folding in darkness, begging for slumber
I'm not blind, I can see it coming
Looks like lightning in my child's eye
I'm not frantic, I can feel it coming
Violently shakes my body
Her son's slanted
Always giving her the sideways eye
The empty chair where dad sits
How loud can silence get?
And mom, she reassures to contain him
But it's becoming a lie
She tells herself and everyone else
Father is risking his life for our freedoms
I'm not blind, I can see it coming
Looks like lightning in my child's eye
I'm not frantic, I can feel it coming
Darling you'll save me if you save yourself
