Latchkey - The Soviettes

I guess you thought it would be fun

To make your pain into a game for someone

I guess you didn’t realize

How hurt and lies would color all our lives

What you did to, so residual, my yesterday

What will I do to my tomorrow?

Will I take on, for forsaken

My father’s ways and I could draw my own blood’s blood?

I sometimes lie awake at dawn

Though wrong, love him now he’s dead and gone

The part that loves him aches inside

In deep it lies next to the the scars I hide

I forgave you when I gave you my wild eyed childhood

How do I fill my empty doors and frames?

How do I get, born of his spit, wise and mild?

When did all the colors run gray?

My life is gray, when will I see day?
