Intro
Verse 1
I should've kept my eyes shut
But I had to go and peep
But when you saw what I saw
Well, it's hard just to roll back to sleep
Verse 2
I would've kept me eyes shut
But I thought I heard you scream
And I've a penchant for violence
You don't seem to find in a dream
Bridge
The scene a little clearer
My father with a rope
And in the cage, centre-stage
It's mother who's destined to choke
Chorus
And she choke and we choke
On the words that we wish we'd not spoke
Just when you felt you had someone to trust
Up comes the man with a dagger and cloak
Verse 3
I should've read the novels
Believed every word
But the stories they wrote
Were so different to ones that I'd heard
Verse 4
I should've kept my eyes shut
My mouth should've closed
But the mixture of vomit and blood
Just crept up through my nose
Bridge
It became a little clearer
As soon as I awoke
My father stands with rope in hand
A screaming mother kneels in hope
Outro
And she hope and we hope
That the words that she said won't provoke
A smile is removed and a petal is crushed
What once was a laugh has turned into a joke
Coda
You should've kept your mouth shut
