I watch you put the kids in the car
in the cold before it’s dark
the baby’s hat covers his eyes
the other little guy screams and cries
your wife watches you fall apart
thinking about your former
life that was a riddle, dissolves into the
brittle creases on your face
I try to read your lips while you talk
in the car across the parking lot
are you staying or are you leaving?
will you be forgiven?
your wife watches you fall apart
thinking about your former
life that was a riddle, dissolves into the
brittle creases on your face
your wife watches you fall apart
thinking about your former
life that was a riddle, dissolves into the
brittle creases on your face
