BA
How long must she stand
G
Before the ground, it gives way
BA
To an endless fall
G
She can feel this war on her face
BA
The stars on her pillow
G
She's folding in darkness begging for slumber
DF
I'm not blind
GD
I can see it coming
DF
Looks like lightning
GD
In my child's eye
DF
I'm not frantic
GD
I can feel it coming
DF
Violently shakes
GD
My body
BA
Her son's slanted
G
Always giving her the sideways eye
BA
The empty chair where dad sits
G
How loud can silence get?
BA
And mom, she reassures
G
To contain him but it's becoming a lie
BA
She tells herself and anyone else
G
Father is risking his life for our freedoms
DF
I'm not blind
GD
I can see it coming
DF
Looks like lightning
GD
In my child's eye
DF
I'm not frantic
GD
I can feel it coming
DF
Darling you'll save me
GD
If you save yourself
