Padre

I'm holding in my anger 
Knowing I'd die to be the strangler
Of his sour-little coward-brittle throat 
I'm just mad not literal
But when your dad's a criminal
There's a  minimal amount of father hope
It doesn't bother me no, 
But it keeps haunting me so
I will keep wandering not knowing where to go
No Padre in my home
What an odd-way to be grown
I guess God made me to be alone.
While you and your dad are sittin fishin 
I'm visitin my dad in prison 
My only mission is too inform you what you're not missin 
Because while your parents are laughing and kissin 
I'm starin havin to listen to my dad share his caring "wisdom"

Movin In, Movin Out

movin in movin out
visitin walkin out
it seems so easy but its the hardest 
thing to say
all the mem'ries all the pain all the 
stress that i have gained i dont 
know what to do im leavin alright i 
dont know what to do im leavin 
tonight
idk what to do im hatin u and lovin 
u too
all the struggles all the grief all these 
things are keepin me from peace
but now that i found my way i pray 
things'll get better now that im in ur 
grace and youll bles me with peace 
all the mem'ries all the pain all the 
stress that i have gained idk what to 
do im leavin alright i dont know 
what to do im leavin tonight...
 movin in movin out
visitin walkin out
it seems so easy but its the hardest 
thing to say
all the mem'ries all the pain all the 
stress that i have gained idk what to 
do im leavin alright i dont know 
what to do im leavin tonight im 
leavin... tonight
