Hurricane - A Song

[Chorus]

Voices, voices, in my head

Voices, voices, wake the dead

Every little wall inside this house

Is shaking

Every little hope of stopping the shouts

Is breaking

It’s everywhere

It’s hurting me

I can’t stop the hurricane

That’s ripping my ears apart

That’s breaking my sad heart.

[Verse 1]

He yells and yells

And that’s all he does

He doesn’t even check in

To see if we’re fine, ‘cause

For all of the words stuck in his head

He can’t seem to form them into a single sentence

That forgets all the pain

But it’s replaced with care

To know if we’ve crumbled from his angry glare

But no, that’s not him

He’s too stuck up to see

That all we do is to try to be

A child he can be proud of

Admit they’ve surpassed him

Allow to be how they are

Instead of hiding all their scars!

And causing the

[Chorus]

Voices, voices, in my head

Voices, voices, wake the dead

Every little wall inside this house

Is shaking

Every little hope of stopping the shouts

Is breaking

It’s everywhere

It’s hurting me

I can’t stop the hurricane

That’s ripping my ears apart

That’s breaking my sad heart.

[Verse 2]

You hear all the talk about abusive dads

And ones that aren’t even home to make you mad

Well, I can’t admit that mine is on that list

I guess sometimes he just gets a glitch

His heart changes rhythm

His head hurts like it’s hit, and

His mouth can’t stop the sparks

Fueling the fire from within him

It hurts, their shouts echoing through the house

It hurts enough for shouts from his spouse

My mom is like me, she hates all the hatred

But stuff like that don’t work if it can’t even make sense

I know life is full of contradictions

But that just adds bets to fights no one can win

But the point, the point is I need a break

From a dad that too constantly breaks

I love him like a father

I know ‘cause he’s my father

But I just get bothered

When they all start to holler

It angers the

[Chorus]

Voices, voices, in my head

Voices, voices, wake the dead

Every little wall inside this house

Is shaking

Every little hope of stopping the shouts

Is breaking

It’s everywhere

It’s hurting me

I can’t stop the hurricane

That’s ripping my ears apart

That’s breaking my sad heart.

[Verse 3]

I get all good grades

I stay out of the way

Of my expectant father when he’s in a haze

I’m smart, I can hear it comin’ on

But my brother, for him it still hasn’t dawned

So he makes a mistake

Dad says not to wait

Brother’s voice starts to raise

And I step away

These fights are every day!

Someone help me escape this

Or fix every stupid mess

I just want a single rest

From these

[Chorus]

Voices, voices, in my head

Voices, voices, wake the dead

Every little wall inside this house

Is shaking (It’s shaking!)

Every little hope of stopping the shouts

Is breaking (It’s breaking!)

It’s everywhere

It’s hurting me

I can’t stop the hurrica-a-ane

That’s ripping my ears apart

That’s breaking my sad heart.

[Chorus]

Voices, voices, in my head

Voices, voices, wake the dead

Every little wall inside this house

Is shaking

Every little hope of stopping the shouts

Is breaking

It’s everywhere

It’s hurting me

I can’t stop the hurricane

That’s ripping my ears apart

That’s breaking my sad heart.

[End]

Shhhhhhh.
