Suddenly a silence in the house   Suddenly another father disappears   Family caught in something backwards   The fact 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
