A Shark Among Us - Weathered Hands lyrics

Her backs against the wall She's losing will to live She swear shed end it all But won't because her kids Can't make it on their own With such a hateful man With no place to go She prays with weathered hands And she wonders How'd it come to this Who she fell in love with Is no longer known Just an empty shell In a loveless home He's reaching for the bottle She knows of what's to come She knows what's bound to follow But this time she had enough Although the answer lies right beyond her door She's still doubtful of what's in store Her backs against the wall She's losing will to live She swear shed end it all But won't because her kids Can't make it on their own With such a hateful man With no place to go She prays with weathered hands She's bled her options dry Its either fight or flight She holds onto her dreams He holds his liquor tight And keeps his demons close Present in all their lives Acquainted with his seeds Familiar with his wife He's just a coward Projecting a lack of worth A fraction of a man Ignoring those he's hurt When will this end x3 It won't happen again She followed fragments Trailing a broken home Pieced together With weary bones She's so afraid She can't make it on her own At least she knows That she's not alone x2 She knows she's not alone x3
