lyrics

Lights Out

She's only 21, her life is gone.
She's only 21, her life is gone.
Baby's in the bathroom, puking again,
A kitchen sink drama, under her skin.
Do you wish now that you'd fallen?

Mother, this is our child's life now,
Mother, our's is gone.
Mother, these are our children's lives now,
Mother, our's are long gone.

He's only 21, his life is gone.
He's only 21, his life is gone.
Father's in the garden, drinking again.
He only gets more angry, every time he screams and cries;
"Your life is a marvel, but I wish it hadn't been."

But her depressions I can't heal, and her misery.
His weakness for kindness, why are you so needy?
He would eat you from the inside, but when he's lying there helpless,
And what have I been? And how have I been?

They're only 21, their lives are gone.
They're only 21, their lives are gone.
And they don't: dance all night anymore,
Don't kiss and say I love you, "Oh, I'm scared, I'm scared."
But we still have each other though, don't we?
Don't we?
