I woke up to the sound of a house breaking.
And I ran to hold the door frame, I ran to stop the world.

For all the strength I had, I didn't think it was enough.
For all the heart I had, I knew it couldn't save it.

And while mommy was asleep

While daddy counted sheep

I strained to stay alive, caught in their mortal war. Windows shattered, breaking lives, the fire sputtered out.
I couldn't be where they needed me-
I could only stay at home.

And while sister spent her nights

Brother left his lights

I strained to keep it whole.

Cracks appeared
Devil's here
I tried to fix it now.
A torn up wall
I watched it fall
I let the world destroy.
