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
