Snapped

So your old man left I told you he was a bum He's been abusing you Since you were young Here's some ice for your eye And your bloody nose He says live with it That's the way it goes Good riddance I say What are you going to do Stay with me You know I love you He's coming back up the drive Decided to come back home Where are you going Just leave him alone I can hear the yelling A fearful shout The six gunshots That blew his brains out

G'day Timothy … your verse tells me in raw fashion what happens too often, although I doubt if the bloke had any brains at all - Lindsay

Well penned, Timothy. Sad how some people are trapped into violent surroundings.
