Big Mistake

Angry Silence

Big Mistake


I hear my father shouting at my mother 
In the room next door 
He's always threatening to pack his bags 
'Cause he can't take it anymore 
And my brother's anorexic 
But no one seems to care about the state he's in 
And my sister's in a club, she's a barmaid in a pub 
And my mother's full of gin 

Can you hear this angry silence? 

I spend the days on my own 
Writing silly poetry 
Writing poems for the girl I love 
But she doesn't love me 
And I'm scared to go out at night 
It's not safe on the streets 
And it's hard to disagree in today's society 
You can't trust anyone you meet 

Can you hear this angry silence? 

Listen, listen, listen... this angry silence
