Keep Going - Harmony Woods

Heard you on the phone last night

You were screaming

Later choking up some bile

By the toilet, kneeling

You didn’t tell me what was wrong

I didn’t bother asking

Now all I see in my head

Are the red lights flashing

Your mother called you up last night

She was screaming

As if you meant to break her heart

As if you owed her something

You said, «She don’t sound that fucked up

When she’s only been drinking»

Then you retreated back to bed

Calmly thinking

«Don't keep going if it hurts you

Don’t keep trying to do things you cannot do

She’ll exercise the blame

You know she’ll never change

You know that it’s no use

Don’t keep going if it hurts you»
