Morning Silence

(album: Flood - 2022)

I heard a break in the morning silence
I could've sworn it was the middle of the night but
Someone came in here to spread my limbs out
And leave my body in a compromised position
Could it be real that it's really me here?
I couldn't help us, I couldn't save me

Same old fight
Time today
Great grandchild
Will see the same

I wish my front door was always open
I wish the dog didn't bark at men who came in
Is it a pipe dream to want my children
Never to wake up and hear a woman screaming
Wish I could water it down for you but
My mouth is dry from thinking about it

Same old fight
Time today
Great-grandchild
Will feel the same
