Sing Down the Stars

"I haven't stopped crying
my father's been drinking
i need a place to stay
i don't want to be here
he's saying the words that
he promised he would never say

that liquid he consumes
makes him speak the truth"

and i said no, its not that at all
its that bottles of lies for a troubled heart
its standing on the edge of a mountain top
screaming anything he wants
like, "look at me, because i exist"
-I exist, I exist, I exist by flatsound
