One Dry River
Look at you, you will never amount to anything
You are ugly, nobody likes you
You are stupid
You are an embarrassment
You are not welcome in this house anymore
Drinks, Drinks, from morning to night to fill that void
The empty space lacking love, the vacant hole lacking appreciation
Look at you
What do you think people think when they see you like that
You need to mature, you are not a child anymore
Your younger sibling acts more mature than you
Don't make me hit you
Bullies, Bullies all those younger than him, all those "better" than him
Look at you, you are not like the rest of my other kids
Its either you leave this house, or I do
We cannot live like this
You can take your dreams somewhere else
I curse you, you cannot live with people
You will never get along with people
Rebels, Rebels, the only way to express herself
hates, hates, the only thing that she knows, the only thing that gives her peace
