The Floor - Buck 65[00:00:00]

I can remember being seven years old[00:00:46]

Having goldfish that circuled around in a bowl[00:00:48]

I would watch the forest burn[00:00:51]

And listen to the wind blow[00:00:53]

I remember the table the drapes and the window[00:00:54]

The dark brown everything: decoration styling[00:00:57]

Most of all I can remember my mother smiling[00:01:00]

Worn out and faded my hometown was scrappy[00:01:03]

More than anything she wanted us to be happy[00:01:05]

Little to eat and back and forth to the hospital[00:01:08]

She was right it's better to be happy if possible[00:01:11]

But the old man was under attack and was weak[00:01:14]

And continued to beat us several times a week[00:01:16]

He lived like a king even though we were piss poor[00:01:19]

I tried to be strong and careful what I wished for[00:01:22]

My outside ached my inside stung[00:01:25]

The long leather belt had replaced his tongue[00:01:27]

Not knowing how to run or how[00:01:30]

To hit the brakes[00:01:32]

A white picket fence was built[00:01:33]

Around a pit of snakes[00:01:34]

Both a wonder and frightening [00:01:36]

The thunder and the lightning[00:01:37]

These were the sounds and sights[00:01:38]

Of a thousand fights[00:01:40]

My mother the poor fish staging eternal[00:01:41]

Charades and parades for the raging inferno[00:01:44]

Wanting to be happy beaten all the while[00:01:46]

Asking me always: "Why don't you ever smile "[00:01:49]

And she'd show me how to do it [00:01:52]

Mother and wife[00:01:54]

It was the saddest smile I ever saw in my life[00:01:55]

It hurt worse than death but for her sake I tried[00:01:58]

And one day all of those goldfish died[00:02:00]

Hurricane forest fire out of control[00:02:03]

Eyes open floating on the water in the bowl[00:02:06]

And when my father came home [00:02:09]

He walked through the door[00:02:10]

And threw those fish to the cat[00:02:12]

On the kitchen floor[00:02:13]

And the wind died too and I was still a child[00:02:14]

And the three of us watched as my mother smiled[00:02:17]

And the wind died too and I was still a child And the three of us watched as my mother smiled[00:02:20]

And the wind died too and I was still a child And the three of us watched as my mother smiled[00:02:25]

And the wind died too[00:02:30]
