I should've kept my eyes shut, but I had to go and peep
But when you saw what I saw, well it's hard just to roll back to sleep
I would've kept my eyes shut, but I thought I heard you scream
And I've a penchant for violence you don't seem to find in a dream
The scene a little clearer, my father with a rope
And in the cage, centre stage, it's mother who's destined to choke
And she choke, and we choke, on the words that we wish we'd not spoke
Just when you felt you had someone to trust
Out comes the man with the dagger and cloak
I should've read the novels, believed every word
But they stories they wrote were so different to ones that I'd heard
I should've kept my eyes shut, my mouth should've closed
But the mixture of vomit and blood just crept up through my nose
It became a little clearer as soon as I awoke
My father stands with rope in hand, a screaming mother kneels in hope
And she hope, and we hope, that the words that she said won't provoke
A smile is removed and a petal is crushed
What once was a laugh has turned into a joke
You should've kept your mouth shut
You should've kept your mouth shut
You should've kept your mouth shut
You should've kept your mouth shut
You should've kept your mouth shut
You should've kept your mouth shut
You should've kept your mouth shut
You should've kept your mouth shut
