The Flood

by Merci Perpe   Aug 27, 2012


She says she still loves him
She says that she'll let him back
She's waiting for change
But she won't cut him any slack

Well that's how it happens
It comes through like a flood
Yeah that's what happens
And it leaves them with cold blood

He's seventeen
Going to college next year
And he doesn't know
That by that time his dad won't be here

Well that's how it happens
It comes through like a flood
Yeah that's what happens
And it leaves them with cold blood

He's got two older brothers
They distance themselves from the fray
But he's got no exit
He's the one cursed to stay

Well that's how it happens
It comes through like a flood
Yeah that's what happens
And it leaves them with cold blood

He's tried to talk
But his dad drinks away the pain
And when he talks to his mom
She only has silence to say

Well that's how it happens
It comes through like a flood
Yeah that's what happens
And it leaves them with cold blood

That's what happened
It came through like a flood
That's what happened
It left me with cold blood...

This is another song lyric I wrote, I'll post a link when I get it recorded, but that might not be for a while on account of some... Stuff I'm dealing with.
