Family
What happens
When the ones you love
Become the one you
Hate
And to them
Your a living
Breathing
Disgrace
Can you stand
To live
In that place
Parents
Always fighting
Depression
Always rising
You have no choice
Dare to use your voice
Will other boast
About your
Silence
Wishing other were too
So you hide in your room
Knowing nothing of what to do
So you pick up the broom and sweep
Maybe now other will see
Maybe now you can plea
Oh listen to me
Speaking frantically
So maybe now you’ll listen
But you say
It was all a mistake
And shake you head
Call me a disgrace
Now were back where we began
Now i drop my head
And sway
We were so lost in the moment
Could bare bare to own it
All my words were fake
At least to you
So you gave me the shoe
That caught the flu
Some maybe I’ll get it too
But instead i went
Completely out of my mind
Oh my family
And the wonders they do
