"WHILE THE FAMILY HIDES" by David Guilbault

Auntie Evie is drinking heavy.
She don’t know what went wrong.
She’s all alone in the family home.
All the kids are long gone.

She’s too mean to die.
She’s too cruel to cry.
She just lives her lies while the family hides.

Uncle Harry is hardly married.
He knows all that’s gone wrong.
He leaves her alone in the family home.
He wants to be long gone.

She’s too mean to die.
She’s too cruel to cry.
She just lives her lies while the family hides.

“It’s not my fault,” she says.
“I won’t take the blame.”
“I don’t know why they fought,” she says.
“But, I think that it’s a shame.”

Number one son just swallowed his gun.
He couldn’t take any more.
Too may tears, too many fears,
Too many hearts made sore.

She’s too mean to die.
She’s too cruel to cry.
She just lives her lies while the family hides.

“It’s not my fault,” she says.
“I will not take the blame.”
“I don’t know why they fought,” she says.
“They should all be ashamed.”

Auntie Evie is drinking heavy.
She don’t know what went wrong.
