Awoken in the night

Something breaks
Daddy screams
To hell with you
To hell with him

You drunken fool
Mommy cries
You'll wake the kids
It's 11 pm

I am tired
He whisperedly shouts
Is it Dennis or
Is it Tim

My eyes are open
My body aches
Is this beginning
Is this the end

What's this mean
My body seizes
I pray to you
I cry to HIM

Confusion enters
I love them both
I'm a boy
I'm only ten

No more sleeping
I'm mad inside
I bang the walls
I hurt my hand

Footsteps approach
Someone whispers
We're only talking
Go back to bed

With tearied face
I move my lips
To hell with you
To hell with him
