in a corner he hides praying for peace
but as dad walks the room
looking for silence
of a fearful disgrace

his fear is just the way
he shows his love
displaying such hate

hide under the bed and grab a pillow
beg for silence
but it's too shallow
so you have to run

find a bus to seattle or oakland
and run on coffee and nicotine
alcohol is the only temp solution
but all you want is to be free
