Unwanted, but breathing.
|
||
|
|
In the next room, sleeping.
|
||
|
|
My mother, she's crying and my father's been drinking.
|
||
|
|
In our run down apartment, where the roof is still leaking.
|
||
|
|
He's cursing and cussing, it's just the whiskey talking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've got lots of memories like this one.
|
||
|
|
Of empty days and nights spent tired and lonesome.
|
||
|
|
When I think back to all of it,
|
||
|
|
Well it's all too much,
|
||
|
|
Well it's all too much when you're just a little kid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My little brother, just a newborn baby.
|
||
|
|
In the image of my mother, she says he's a blessing.
|
||
|
|
But not to my father, oh how he hates him.
|
||
|
|
"An undeserving mistake." He calls him a burden.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've got lots of memories like this one.
|
||
|
|
Of picking sides and picking fights between them.
|
||
|
|
When I think back to all of it,
|
||
|
|
Well it's all too much,
|
||
|
|
Well it's all too much when you're just a little kid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When I wake up in the morning it all feels like a bad dream,
|
||
|
|
One that follows you and haunts you endlessly.
|
||
|
|
Yeah haunts me endlessly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Broken and beaten from the abuse and the cheating,
|
||
|
|
The addiction, the lying and the promise of leaving.
|
||
|
|
While my old man was a bastard, I admired and loved him.
|
||
|
|
Us two kids, we were born in to a family, not a fortune.
