Mother
Mother shot father and I don’t see
How this came to be
Mother shot father and I can't hear
The sound of gunfire ringing in my ear
In my room I sit
A cigarette in my hand, asking to be lit
Mother shot father and I don’t know why
I can't seem to find the tears to cry
Mother shot father
Bam bam bam
Mother shot father
Bam bam bam
A bullet straight to the head
And now daddy is dead
Two more shots, just to be sure
Its all a blur
Mother shot father
And then mother shot mother
Here I sit, in my room alone
The words in my head an endless drone
Mother shot father
Mother shot mother
If I shoot myself
Will all the blame lie with mother?
