the blood within the empty bottles

mom says she loves me,

dad looks at me like im a mistake,

tonights like every pther night,

for some reason im still awake,

i hear them in the kitchen again things crashing on the floor,

sounds like broken glass just like the night before,

with tears in my eyes i run down stairs because its just to hard to ignore,

but by far im just simply to late,

the dad that always looked at me like im a mistake,

looked at me straight in the eyes with blood on a blade,

i wish it was just a dream because i know im still awake,

he tried to grab me but i got loose and ran,

as fast as i can with the littlest sense to understand,

he was probably drunk again, what a sick man,

but i just couldnt stop thinking about mom,

if she would be ok or was she already gone,

dad was so drunk his senses couldnt tell him he was wrong,

i ran as fast as i could to the nearest police station around,

it was almost 12:30 am so theres not one shadow on the ground,

i could hear dad near by i tried to run but my fear held me down,

by the time i was able to run i knew he could see me n plain sight,

he start coming towards me but my heart couldnt run anymore tonight,

he stabbed me in the chest and my life slowly faded,

hopefly tomarrow he'll realize the bloody mess he created,

life is precious so dont let acouple of beers replace it,

but i hope dad comes to see that he is far more than mistaken.
