Never far from home
You are always with me
Said we'd run away
Forget our family
You protected me from the storms inside
When mom would come home
You'd scream run and hide
She's drunk in a rage
Yelling about the Bible
When it was all over
You'd always help me smile
Big sisters help fight back
When demons try to attack
Big sisters help fight back
When demons try to attack
Even far away
You are always with me
Said we'd run away
Forget our family
You drove me around
To thrift stores and used record shops
Took most of the blows
Told me one day the pain would stop
Wish I could have guarded you
The same way you bunkered me
When you moved out
Copied your apartment key
Even far from home
You are always with me
Said we'd run away
Forget our family
Big sisters help fight back
When demons try to attack
Big sisters help fight back
When demons try to attack
Should have known you would implode
When you moved out should have followed
Left you alone anger seething
Dose of Narcan got you breathing
Never far from home
You are always with me
Said we'd run away
Forget our family
Never far from home
You are always with me
Said we'd run away
Forget our family
