Violence in Blame - Chastain, Kate French

Hey mother, why don’t you tell the truth

Your sugar coated cande is turning black and blue

The silver linings faded, why don’t you feel the rain

When it’s coming down all around you turn and walk away

The sun don’t shine when it’s time for violence and blame

Hey father, why don’t you sayt a word

The silence isn’t fair when I’m trying to be heard

You listened to me screaming and said I’d have to pay

The price if I should tell a soul what you did to me

The sun don’t shine when it’s time for violence in blame

Your violence in blame

Time changes and I’m on my own

I’ve learned to hide the feelings I face when I’m alone

Still fighting for the reasons, I keep them locked away

But every time I look inside, these skeletons escape

The sun don’t shine when it’s time for violence in blame

Your violence in blame

Where were you, too late for you now

The ties have all but faded, the flowers wilt away

And all is said forgiven for your violence in blame
