The same tune..

She's quietly drawing
stars and a moon
careful not to color outta the lines
while she humms a sweet tune

She hears a door slam
and a couple of screams
things are beein thrown around
daddy is mad it seems

she sits up straight
waitng for the door to open
swinging her legs back and forth
seems like things are being broken

She told her self she'd become used to this
but its always the same
her daddy coming home drunk
she hears him call her name

she slowly gets on her feet
and stares at the door
he quickly walkes in
next thing she knows she's on the floor

she feels kicks on her stomach
and stuff slamming on her head
she tries to crawl
and at least make it to the bed

but he stops her
not even halfway there
more punches are being blown
this isn't fair

she doesnt even try to stop him
its useless to try
she tries to hold her anger in
tries not to cry

she stands up straight once again
and she is slammed agianst the wall
she didnt even feel any pain
but its trying to break the fall

Only a few more minutes
he'll be done soon
he wont bother her till tomorrow
and she'll go back to coloring her moon

hes had enough
his anger is out
but the anger is boiling within her
she wants to scream and shout

but its not worth it
she returns to her bed
looks at her drawing
but ripps it up instead

So she looks out the window
ready for another day
life would be better
if he would just stay outta the way

she closes her eyes
and her lips form a smile
everything will be okay soon
it just takes a while

so she takes out a clean sheet of paper
and draws a rainbow and a heart
more colorful then ever
and continues to humm the same tune
