Buttons

He likes to hide away at night, in places they can't see
When they're at home, his home becomes an awful place to be
They often drink, they often fight, they often scream throughout the night
And he can't leave this house of his, this penitentiary

His mommy doesn't cook for him, since she can't see him there
His daddy has no time for him, he doesn't seem to care
So every day alone he stays in the dark shadows where he plays
He knows he's stuck, he'll never leave, his corpse has tied him there

At night his mommy cries a lot, she often says his name
His daddy doesn't give a damn, since he's the one to blame
And mommy hid what daddy did to their young boy, that little kid
They both give into drink and shout, to cauterise the shame
