Hey mother, why don't you tell the truth Your sugar coated cande is turning black and blue The silver linings faded, why don't you feel the rain When it's coming down all around you turn and walk away The sun don't shine when it's time for violence and blame Hey father, why don't you sayt a word The silence isn't fair when I'm trying to be heard You listened to me screaming and said I'd have to pay The price if I should tell a soul what you did to me The sun don't shine when it's time for violence in blame Your violence in blame Time changes and I'm on my own I've learned to hide the feelings I face when I'm alone Still fighting for the reasons, I keep them locked away But every time I look inside, these skeletons escape The sun don't shine when it's time for violence in blame Your violence in blame Where were you, too late for you now The ties have all but faded, the flowers wilt away And all is said forgiven for your violence in blame
