MADE ME STAY

Just spoke to my son

Six years worth of fun

Spoke of hot wheels and guns

And monster truck toys

In the background, the noise

Of those two other boys

That he calls brother and brother

(Could hear demands of his mother)

I move onward, work harder

Try not to be bothered

By the separation, like thunder

That claps in my brain

I miss him, moreover

One day she'll move over

And make way for the day

That we're in the same place

How is it, betrayal

Weaves so well with her veil?

She's so empty and frail

In this much larger game

But she sells it, compels it

Her each movement foretells it

Of the day when her past

Catches up with today

In the meantime I suffer

It's been my cause

And my lover

I just work to restore

What she - took away

Fill each moment of empty

With efforts for plenty

My guiding light is the darkness

Where she

- Made me stay
