The Last to Say - Atmosphere[00:00:00]
As far back[00:00:12]
As he cares to remember[00:00:13]
He used to see his old man[00:00:15]
Lose the temper[00:00:16]
And mama's pretty face would catch it all[00:00:18]
On a regular basis the[00:00:21]
Nest would fall[00:00:22]
But he was always[00:00:24]
Safe from dad's rage[00:00:25]
'Cause mama sacrificed in his place[00:00:27]
Two dozen years of the[00:00:29]
Blood sweat tears[00:00:30]
Avoid the mirror[00:00:32]
Losing her hair from the fear[00:00:33]
She never left him[00:00:35]
Stayed inside[00:00:36]
He beat her a** up[00:00:37]
Until the day that he died[00:00:39]
In fact the biggest beating[00:00:40]
Was the day that he died[00:00:41]
'Cause now it's too late[00:00:43]
For her to make a new life[00:00:44]
She gets to mourn[00:00:46]
For the touch of a punch[00:00:47]
Won't ever admit that[00:00:49]
She ain't clutchin it much[00:00:50]
Someday she'll die[00:00:52]
Still won't be done[00:00:53]
The anger lives on[00:00:55]
Through their son[00:00:56]
'Cause he saw[00:00:58]
He caught it all[00:00:59]
A childhood of watching ma[00:01:01]
And pa get raw[00:01:02]
It's too bad for him[00:01:03]
Nah that's half the truth[00:01:05]
'Cause you back with him[00:01:06]
Now and he's smacking you[00:01:08]
What happened to you[00:01:09]
You don't have a clue[00:01:11]
Did your mama used to suffer[00:01:12]
Accidents too[00:01:14]
I never knew that you[00:01:15]
Would stand for abuse[00:01:16]
I guess I just assumed[00:01:18]
That you would pack up and move[00:01:19]
Think about when you left him last time[00:01:21]
Said out loud[00:01:24]
You would never forgive past crimes[00:01:25]
Sunglasses[00:01:27]
So dark[00:01:28]
Scarf around the neck to[00:01:30]
Cover the choke marks[00:01:31]
And since you gotta justify returnin'[00:01:33]
You convinced yourself[00:01:35]
That he's just a hurt person[00:01:36]
You wanna blame that cross he bears[00:01:38]
But his pop's not there[00:01:41]
When he tosses you[00:01:42]
Down stairs[00:01:43]
Let[00:02:07]
Me be[00:02:08]
The last[00:02:09]
To say[00:02:11]
Please don't stay[00:02:15]
Let[00:02:19]
Me be[00:02:20]
The last[00:02:21]
To say[00:02:22]
You won't be okay[00:02:25]
Please put your shoes on[00:02:30]
And step into that warm weather[00:02:32]
Go get yourself a more better forever[00:02:34]
Gotta put it down[00:02:36]
You gotta leave it[00:02:38]
And don't ever come[00:02:39]
Back again you gotta mean it[00:02:40]
Just tear it all apart and build[00:02:42]
New[00:02:44]
'Cause if you don't kill[00:02:45]
Him he's gonna kill you[00:02:46]
You can't hold hands[00:02:48]
When they make fists[00:02:49]
And I ain't the first to say this[00:02:50]
But let[00:02:53]
Me be[00:02:54]
The last[00:02:56]
To say[00:02:57]
Please don't stay[00:03:01]
Let[00:03:05]
Me be[00:03:06]
The last[00:03:07]
To say[00:03:09]
You won't be okay[00:03:12]
Let[00:03:40]
Me be[00:03:40]
The last[00:03:42]
To say[00:03:43]
Please don't stay[00:03:47]
