Em         Em             D     
Father he cried with his fists 
      Em
one evening
His eyes were ablaze from all he'd 
consumed
Mother she crawls down the stairs in
 the morning
She's black and blue, Broken and 
bruised
Black and blue, broken and bruised

She crawls to her room and she 
screams the hardest
Lets the voices inside her head 
bleed into one
Continúa después del anuncio
She hears his footsteps alone in the
 darkness
She closes her eyes and prays for 
her son
Closes her eyes and prays for her so
    D        A
But no her son doesn't come
And no her son doesn't come

Em         Em           D       
Now all I remember is reading 
     Em
your letter
Saying I'm leaving not for how long
Look after your mother look after 
your sister
Dont make my mistakes I know they 
were wrong
Don't make my mistakes I know they 
were wrong

Hindsight is beautiful but not so 
forgiving
The truth just follows and festers 
inside
You can choose just what you 
remember
But the truth gets lost and found by
 your lies
The truth gets lost and found by 
your lies
    D        A
But no your son will not come
And no your son will not come
