Wake the Empty Heart

by Busted Halo   Jul 10, 2006


And brother screams
momma crys
daddy dreams
about a money find
20 years pondering a money scheme
slowly but surly spirit dies

sister loses faith
another baby has passed
i pray God keep the next safe
so nine months it will survive at last

mommy,why do you weep?
daddy tell her its OK
don't worry I'll get the broom and sweep
dad ill listen to every word you say
even though when you yell
my soul even more will decay

little sister,I see that
you want to be just like me
I'm sorry for persecuting you
keeping your spirit from being free
i hope i am a good role model too
Do not copy the darkness thats n me
This little sister I do plead

Monsters are screaming
tensions are high
old wounds are bleeding
I'm about to say goodnight
&its hard to wake up breathing
my dreams put up a stronger fight
because with morning comes a new light,

a new life
