lyrics

WHEN THE HOUSE SHAKES

When the house shakes
I know he's home
he climbs the stairs
and slams the door
and my mother will get
what she's asking for

When the calm breaks
I know he's home
his feet pound
on the hardwood floor
and my sister will get
what she's asking for

If he comes breathing down my neck
whiskey sour smell on his breath
bloodshot eyes right in my face
I might lose control
I might break

I would stare him down
and swing my fist
I'd hit so hard
I nearly break my wrist
and my daddy would groan
as he fell to the floor
I'd tell him that I'm
not a child no more
my daddy will get
what he's asking for
my daddy will get
what he's asking for
