Songs Music Background Lyrics

When i was young Drinking coke mixed with Cream Soda And speed skating on horizon ice rink Popcorn slush puppies hot dog's At the Drive Inn How the mind work's And takes me back I believe Strong in the mystery Trying to run away From the problems at home I never understood back then Until much later on in my life I couldn't handle the truth And still to this day can't I run I ran I tried my best to run away Only to find my way back where To where i began The only difference is now I know what i am still running from And from insanity i can't escape It is the only shape and form In which i fit It is my glove My shoe My comfort blanket I am the son of an alcoholic Monkey see monkey doo

Cheers S1 thank you very much . Sometimes its cathartic to just have write what you know however personal in order to get it off ones chest. And the gift or the blessing of it all is if some one relates and reaches back out. So ta much appreciated
