Numbed Ties

I've been thinking all day

About the cold words they used to say

I know they think they're fine

But I know they'd like to die

Maybe that's why they just bother me

My mind is acting cruel and I've been so dumb

What's left is real is less then a crumb

It's fun to pretend we're happy

I guess it's better then facing reality

The world really hurts and the truth is ugly

So why should I be me?

My hands are numb and my brain is tied

We thought our fathers left but I guess they died

Those lines at shops that took so long

That our sons just out grew the sun

Our moms beat us down as they gave us life

Those drugs would work but they made us cry

They made us all drown without a sound

And I guess it just happened so long

And I guess that we were all wrong

They laughed at our face as their skin shattered

I'd look through their eyes like the glass they were

They'd poke they'd prod until they wanted to be done

They'd shout they scream till it wasn't fun

Now we can laugh at all the shattered skin that we want

Now I can over look those glass eyes all I want

Now I can drown out all of their lost hopes and cries

Now I could always have just let you die

But I've been thinking all day

About those cold words you used to say

I know you know you aren't fine and now you want to die

And I know you remember bothering me

My mind was cruel and I acted dumb

What was left to be real was less then a crumb

And it was fun to pretend we were happy

It was better then facing our reality

My hands are still numb but my brain is tied less tight

Now we know our fathers didn't leave but they just died

Those lines at shops that take so long

But I won't let our sons outgrow the sun

Our moms won't beat us down but they give life

Those drugs don't work and they make us cry

They make us all drown without a sound

Now it's been so long

Now we're not all wrong

Yes this is a song, and I actually like it too.
