Suddenly a silence in the house Suddenly another father disappears Family caught in something backwards The truth is, he never was here Counting all the crickets on the porch Telling haunted stories on the trains He had a warped imagination This patient was never the same He's just looking for a crumb Paranoia haunts him, wondering what he has done No one is safe, no one is safe Writing long letters to his dad That he knows won't be sent Mother doesn't hurt his feelings Assures him he's no accident One more tire in the swamp One more fire burning thin He knows where his bleeding heart is Determined to never give in No one is safe
