lyrics

The shotgun cocked so soon when they were young
Exchanging vows as one, on that day in the sun.
So soon in life to finally reach the end
Or so they thought, the hardship was yet to come.

The consequence of fearing life alone
Leads two to become one under the guise of love.
We’re taught to pick our partners with our gut
Instinct trumps the brain, logic will never find the one.

Flung into harmony, taught nothing more than family
To evermore and always keep their bond.
But she was too timid to pull him up, and he was thicker than the mud
Slowly piling in the driveway’s end.

She struggled to please him, he struggled to work.
He couldn’t decipher the always ‘I’m fine’ and the ‘never agains’ she got bored of his lies.
It’s hard to blame him – she did it well.
Like many young men he’d never been taught how to express emotion or admit his faults.
Now we believe that they’re destined to fail;
With half of our unions that end in default it’s no wonder when silence is all that is taught.

The cost of old society still dictating all of our needs.
As infants is how we all breed.

In another stately house
A richer two attempt the same.
If she mutters out loud
He’ll be sure to make her pay.
Maybe think twice before you judge the way
Those around live day to day.

When the anger boils over, impulses reign and
The mask melts off, rinsed down the drain.

She lay there awake thinking of the mistakes she had made to bring his anger.
When he burst through the door, words falling to the floor, slurred steps sliding ever closer.
Rushing down the stairs, with all the tiny tears in the fabric unwinding ever faster.
She knew it was time, the point break in his mind, fight to flight engaged in this disaster.

She ran for the phone, on account of the bone splintered from her face when he threw her.
He moved at a pace, to leave no trace, that the cord was cut right through her.
If the call came through, police knew what to do, they’d discussed it before when they’d seen her.
But they were too late, they were always too late. Now the neighbours wished they believed her.
