Letra Story from a thin wall Fish

Story from a thin wall

I heard the battle raging on the other side of the wall
Buried my head in a pillow and tried to ignore it all
Every night when I hear you I dream of breaking down your door
An avenging knight in shining armour to rescue you from it all
From the family business

When I see you in the supermarket
With sunglasses in the shade
Averting your eyes from those staring questions
How were those bruises made
Its family business

Children clutching to your legs
Theyve got so much they want to say
But daddys sitting home and drunk again
So they bite their lips and pray
And daddy dont like no strangers prying
And noses in his private affairs
And if anyone asks from the social
Well, you fell down the stairs
Its family business

So I become an accessory
And I dont have an alibi
To the victim lying on my doorstep
The only way I can justify
Its family business

cause every day its getting harder
Try to see, to go away
To all the people that surround you
You have to sit them down and explain
To be the writing on the wall inside
To be the pledge you call your own
And if you run into the day
You sure you know youll find a home
You sure you know youll find a home
Find a home
You sure, you sure

The traffic lights shine upon
(? ) and the broken home
Everyone could be oh so far away
(? ) and the white lines lead the way
Lead the way

And the writing on the wall
Theyre carving out the martyrs in stone

Couldve been the same this way
It couldve been the same this way
Tell them its the same today
We could have been much younger
It could have been much longer
Into the real time
Too far
You run away today
Tomorrow
You take away the time
You took away my mind

Something to the light she said
Everyone is burning
We could have been much younger
Should have
