Gaping
Gaping
She wakes the holes in her soul gaping
She can’t take this waking
Driven mad by what he’s done
But by day’s end he won’t do it anymore
She wakes the holes in her soul are gaping
She couldn’t do it yesterday
She couldn’t leave
Couldn’t even put an end to it all
She wakes and it’s every inch of her that he’s taking
No remorse
No pity
He just takes
And those holes in her soul
Their gaping
Wider and wider
There’s one thing left
But she can’t bring herself to do it
She can’t take the shot
Years go by
And those holes in her soul
Are filled with a little boy
A beautiful baby
But that man he comes
And takes her
She wakes the holes in her soul are gaping
It’s her that lies there at night
Ever waking
She can’t take the shot
Till the day he does
That little boy he’s 3 now
And that man he beats him
She wakes
Those holes in her soul
Have sealed
She lies covered in blood
Gun in hand
That man beside her
A bullet in his head
And her boy sleeping soundly in the next room
