Babylon

They would yell,
they would scream,
they were fighting it out
She would hope,
she would pray,
she was waiting it out
Holding onto a dream
While she watches
these walls fall down
Sharp words like knives,
they were cutting her down
Shattered glass like the past,
it’s a memory now
Holding onto a dream
While she watches
these walls fall down
Hey mom, hey dad
When did this end?
Where did you lose
your happiness?
I’m here alone inside
of this broken home
Who’s right, who’s wrong
Who really cares?
The fault, the blame,
the pain’s still there
I’m here alone inside
of this broken home,
this broken home
Wrote it down on the walls,
she was screaming it out
Made it clear, she’s still here,
are you listening now?
Just a ghost in the halls
Feeling empty,
they’re vacant now
All the battles,
all the wars,
all the times
that you’ve fought
She’s a scar,
she’s the bruising,
she’s the pain
that you brought
There was life,
there was love
Like a light and
it’s fading out
Hey mom, hey dad
When did this end?
Where did you lose
your happiness?
I’m here alone inside
of this broken home
Who’s right, who’s wrong
Who really cares?
The fault, the blame,
the pain’s still there
I’m here alone inside
of this broken home,
this broken home
You’ve gotta let it go,
you’re losing all your hope
Nothing left to hold,
locked out in the cold
Your pain and memories
that washed out
all the seas
I’m stuck in between
a nightmare
and lost dreams
Hey mom, hey dad
When did this end?
Where did you lose
your happiness?
I’m here alone inside
of this broken home
Hey mom, hey dad
When did this end?
Where did you lose
your happiness?
I’m here alone inside
of this broken home
Who’s right, who’s wrong
Who really cares?
The fault, the blame,
the pain’s still there
I’m here alone inside
of this broken home
This broken home
