Persona Non Grata

Burn it
Fill the sinks up with water like you used to
For the animals, our best friends
Our five sons, two daughters
And I miss my dog like all hell’s lost
I’m trying to call just to see if you’d talk
You don’t have to if you don’t want to
You don’t need to
Oh why won’t you call?
Why won’t you call?
Why won’t you call?
Guilty water
Adopted by my father
From my grandpa
It’s airborne
He was beaten like a shirt worn
So I call my mom just to see if she’d talk
Said guilt’s an ungodly fly on the wall
Man you’re drowning
You don’t have to if you don’t want to sometimes
Oh why won’t you call?
Why won’t you call?
Why won’t you call?
