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............................. |
