Diminishing Again

By *D*i*a*g*o*n*a*l* on June 29, 2014 11:14 pm

This song is about a Romani man, a father of six who was murdered (run over) in front of his kids.

Lyrics:

There, out in the distance
Someone looking all over
Straining their neck
Looking for an answer

All of a sudden
Pieces of a story
Fall in place
Engraved in a shadow

On the side of the road
The eyes of our family
A father of six, gone in a flash, staring at the stars till his eyes go dim

So we’re behind the wheel
And our history is something else now
On the side of road
I find it odd that I’m diminishing again

I can’t determine the day
Cause this night will never end
There’s a culture and a voice
Locked beneath a muzzle

Keeping secrets
Seeping regrets
Kicking their heads
Ditching there dead

Once again the end is in the place of the beginning
