CAN'T LET GO

It's a new day with nothing to say, kinda lost their way but they can't let go.
No ones fault, like pepper and salt,they should call a halt but battle on.
An angry night, just another fight, cos' money's tight but no makin' up..
They like to dream it's all berries and cream,so it doesn't seem,things are so bad.


He asks for a sub,he needs the pub,but here's the rub she always says no,
so he goes in her purse cos' drink's his curse, what could be worse, he sighs.
When she does the math, he feels her wrath,the kids in the bath,cold & alone.
They put warm chips to their blue lips, fizzy sugar sips, always the same.


She's on the town, legs painted brown, loses her frown on a Friday night,
lads strut their stuff acting tough, a bit of rough but she wants more
she drinks too much,lets them touch, a kind of crutch that helps her through,
it doesn't last long, she knows it's wrong, same old song sung every week.

Their kisses aren't the same,there's no flame, it's a shame but that's how it is,
No love but they care, the children they share, smiles are rare in that house.
She wants much more,he asks what for,stares at the floor and now he knows,
there is no hope, on the downward slope, they just can't cope any more .


LAND OF SIN


Always on the Stairs
her Life is silence
Mum sell her Wares
surrounded by violence
Though no blame, it's always the same,
You claim to cry, then walk on by.
He holds out a Cup
asks his God again
not to wake up
so no more pain
Have you a part, deep in your Heart
to forget the cost and save the Lost
The voice she hears
destroys her Mind
no help for years
til a Body they find
It's not a Game, don't you feel shame,
you want to do more, then forget what you saw
He lives in Halls
clutching his Phone
there are no calls
he sits all alone
Are you aware, do you not care
under the Skin , lies a Land of Sin

Are you aware, that you just stare

Are you aware, you're never there

Are you aware.............................
