so this is a growing pain

a faithful mistake,
i married into a family of hunger
a boy hungry for a suitcase
hungry for his sick, sad sex

clever with lies on a lady's hope
his secrets destroy every brick she lays
"it's not your fault"
i built our home on this fault line
now we're running the other way
fixed on the tremors and quakes

he runs beautifully, quietly
always so far ahead
with his insider information
and he's the one that got away safe
