We listen to fucked up songs in the bathroom stallsTo keep our home away from blood smeared walls
Singing shit like "I wish my father loved me more"
Because boy or girl he still called you a whore
Yet you forgive the fucker and scream at the mirror
Picking the blades out your razors you cut your fingers
They tell me do not make yourself bleed just to bleed
You already break your own heart in your dreams
And if your lip gets busted or eyes blackened
Blame your father because there was a time where it was his fault that it happened
And if you forget your name while plastered
You can forget your parents and call yourself a bastard
Her dad is in prison, his dad is missing
And I ran from home surprised I am still living
And if you think life is hard now wait until it gets easy
The quiet makes it so much easier to hear the screaming
And your post traumatic stress disorder will make you thrash your head
It will make you run to the shower to forget the feeling of a bed
All you see is Barefoot and maggots in the sink
You can never stop checking for bugs in your drink
My thin white lines are residue from dreading my lights going dim
After the vampires would snort the blood from my skin
