I hear my father screaming
As I hear the voices kicking
When I try to sit in
I end up ignited, exploding.
Now I am sixteen years old
The stories begin to be told
The truth soon to be unfold
Can you feel the betrayal?
"Honor thy father and mother"
But why would I even bother?
When monsters live forever,
Will we ever make it further?
Hide inside for your own sake
Hear my heart as it begins to break
Keep silent and please be fake
My legs the ground, begins to shake
My life, my world, see them shatter
Does any of this still even matter?
My thoughts, my head, see them falter
Is this what it feels like to be underwater?
He's coming, he's angry, see him explode
They're tired, they're crying, see them implode
Can't take it, releasing, igniting inside
I'm yelling, I'm violent, see me explode.
