Lyrics

Intro (Harini)
It’s hard to understand the pain you went through
They got to wear your shoe for them to get you
But even if they knew…
What would they do/if they were in your place?
Who am I-They to judge
I’m just trying to picture it
It’s like every step to a closer clue….
It is just a bigger pit. You were sick of it
Sick of him, life, and every hit
you were forced to commit.
I wish everyone was born free…
and I wouldn’t have known this story

V-1 (Ahdi)
A mother of two… A little girl and a baby boy
She goes to school, he crawls and just plays with toys
you love them to death…
they’re smile brings relief, maybe joy
but the days are mostly dark and you can’t really take the noise
you hate the voice in your head… Ready-Set-Steady-Poise
it’s unfortunate, but you feel like you need to make a choice
and to make that choice is something you never wanted to
the darkest point of life forever haunted you
He used to come home drunk, beat you up and continue…
to hit you. Rape your girl, you wanted to die, because if you…
tried to stop it there would be no escape…” just don’t bother?”
“Naah! What Kind of father would rape his own daughter”
he kept doing it and you were sick of it, you couldn’t take it
crying to yourself with fear… “There is no way the kids are gonna make it”
“this can’t be fait that was written”
you had to do something… even for the sake of the children
and you made the decision… and you…

Chorus (Harini)
Burnt the house down, with her and the kids in it
yeah she burnt the house down and ended it
burning every sin and every incident
was she innocent? Was it eminent?
She took away their lives trying to save them from misery
homicide, suicide, or did she just want to see them free?
No one would know this mothers pain
got worse every other day
was there another way. Another way

V-2 (Ahdi)
Did she really have to die?
days got darker as they were passing by
he was weak and a coward…
and that is why he felt the need to over-power
and as he tried he failed again
so I sit… write a song
I didn’t decide to come and say whether she was right or wrong
I came to say… why does something like this even have to happen?
stories like this always come along…
you see them back to back then their just forgotten
“Equality Of Men And Women”, solution is clear
and that scares them. Obviously pollutes them with fear
it can save humanity maybe more than any other thing
how can humanity learn to fly without the other wing?
She’s a being, a mother that’s the thinking we should follow
he education is much more important for building our tomorrow
for stopping the grief and sorrow….
believe It because we have to
she’s not a prisoner or a sex slave, and neither did she have to…

Chorus (Harini)

Burn the house down, with her and the kids in it
yeah she burnt the house down and ended it
burning every sin and every incident
was she innocent? Was it eminent?
She took away their lives trying to save them from misery
homicide, suicide, or did she just want to see them free?
No one would know this mothers pain
got worse every other day
was there another way. Another way
