I feel that I'm at fault
Even though I don't see how
Any of this could be my doing
But it seems it is somehow.
I'm a walking contradiction,
A little inside-out
A little shaken up
A little broken down.
I feel a little lonely
As I sit all by myself
Listening to my flaws
Being pointed out.
I guess this type of outbreak
Isn't something new
I don't know why I'm surprised
At the words coming from you.
I wish I could've been there
Way back when you were young.
I would tell you not to make mistakes
That already have been done.
Maybe that would fix this...
Or maybe it just won't
Maybe things would stay the same
In our haunted home.
Home isn't the right word
It's more like an asylum
Screams coming from windows
Even though they are silenced.
A single word...there isn't.
To describe the place I've grown
Up and was raised in..
It's all I've ever known.
I guess if you made me
Pick a word...just for fun.
Dysfunction... would be my choice
Yes... Sadly that's the one.
