Dear Mother and Father, if you're reading this now |
|
You probably just got home from God knows where |
|
And went into my room to tell me |
|
How tired you both are and how tired I make you both |
|
Seem to think, I'm a problem to solve |
|
But I don't want to be this thing that has to |
|
Step over glass to prove, I'm not always wrong |
|
It's not my fault I was born |
|
I tried to tear off my own skin and only made you confused |
|
Well, I am confused too; you act like you never use to |
|
Hit me in anger, you broke my belief in any comfort or safety or sense of relief |
|
You, you called me a liar, you called me a thief |
|
I better run for my life, I'd rather live in the street |
|
You never listened to me; you only hear what you want to hear |
|
|
|
Remember the dream that I told you I had |
|
With the old man with the jacket, that had a navy patch |
|
I pissed myself for a year; you said it's only a dream |
|
You have to grow up sometime; you have to be a man like me |
|
A man like you who sticks his head in the sand to disappear |
|
Who thinks the danger goes away, if you can't see the things you fear |
|
If I could be a man like that I'd stay and force you |
|
To ignore all of these burns on my skin, that you confuse with discipline |
|
I won't destroy your illusion, destroy your mystic |
|
You'll have to learn to live without one more unfortunate freak |
|
You, you called me a loser, you called me sick |
|
I'd get more love in the street, get more affection sucking dick |
|
You never listened to me; you only hear what you want to hear |
|
|
|
I will not take my own life to validate what you have done |
|
Won't let the sins of the Father become those of the son |
|
You, you called me depressive, you called me weak |
|
You're better off without the love of this unfortunate freak |
|
You never listened to me; someone will listen to me |
|
Someone will listen to me |
|
Someone will...listen to me |
|
Someone will listen to me |
|
Someone will listen to me |
|
Someone will listen to me |
|
Someone will listen to me |
|
Someone will.... |
