Open Fantasy
Tired, exhausted working 2, 3 sometimes 4 jobs
Is what mama had to do to keep a roof over our heads
Raised by brothers and sisters never seen mothers face
Was what i had to go throught on a daily base
To think mama had to do it on her own
Why because you were behind bars with a foggie mirrow and a bed
Given everything you needed clouths, food and more
Never had to work to survive behind those silver doors
You though we lived in paradise but in truth we were on the road to the after life
In my eyes the world was nothing but endless darkness
And my escape was my emotions being spilled on a page that was ment for you
To believe the girt i recieved from you was a knife plunged into my back
At that moment in time my wolrd came tumbling down
Shattered into a million peices that will never be found
Can't believe i let my self be fouled into thinking your a fantastic dad
But in thruth your only a clown
A joke that's what you are a child stuck in a 50 year old man
The mask you've worn for so many years has finally sunck so deep it made you blind
You can't see your choices and mistakes are what make your binds
You went so low to take mama's life
Why because she wanted out of the marriage and you out of her life
I remeber the day as though it were yesterday images replaying itself just by your name
You banging on the door to let you in
Saying if we dont today will be are end
That was the first time i seen big sister so scared
Crying and screaming with all her might for help
That was torture to bear
Looking into mama's eyes there was nothing but fear
Not for herself but her children who were there
Crying there eyes out and screaming for there mothers help
To think the man i once called father the one who gave me life
Who told me multiple times he'd always be there is my greatest fear
Everyday before i walk out the door of my house
I close my eyes lift my hands and pray to the lord
Hoping he'd bring back the gently kind man that i held so dear
But iknow in my Mind and in my Heart it's
only and Open Fantasy
