Explosion by Jess Hrich, lyrics

The sky was pink the clouds were dark

The evening’s booze had left their mark

His comments were mean his opinions stark

All it took was one spark

 

Explosion

Lighting split the tree next door

Explosion

That night broke the family of four

Apart

It broke them apart

Tore right through her heart

As his thunder broke the family of four apart

The youngest couldn’t help but wail

Her heart clenched hard her skin went pale

He grabbed her wrist she began to flail

Why had her dad gone off the rail

Explosion

His rough grip quickly made her sore

Explosion

That tantrum broke the family of four

Apart

It broke them apart

Tore right through her heart 

As his handling broke their family of four apart

Big brother held his sister tight

He fought back tears with all his might

Trying to figure out what was right

As an empty mom haunted his sight

Explosion

Anger gripped him to his core

Explosion 

That fist broke the family of four

Apart

It broke them apart

Tore right through his heart

As the monster broke their family of four apart

Oh yes it broke his heart 

Watching the end start

As his maelstrom broke the family of four apart

 

And when all was said and done

The night past and dawn had come

The heavy hitting words still stung

The family of three had no where to run

 

And so they stayed until the next explosion
