Mt. Angelus

What's the first year you remember?

When I was five
I lived on Mt. Angelus Drive
Drive, yeah

When I was five
I lived on Mt. Angelus Drive
How I miss that summer, 1999
Hiding under covers wasn't on my mind

When I was five
I lived on Mt. Angelus Drive
A time before the sleepless nights
Unless mom and dad just had to fight

When I was five
I lived on Mt. Angelus Drive
On a path to never write a rhyme
Do the math, who placed that stick of dynamite?

When I was five
All the family I've lost were still alive
Don't think father was a monster yet
Thought been bothered, full of old regrets

When I was five
I knew God was up in that sky!
Prayers placed when fate had layers
Lost that faith to complacent strangers

When I was five
I wouldn't leave my father's side
Something 'bout the way we thought the same?
Or just my love projected on a face?

When I was five
I could look you in the eye
Tell you nothing was amiss with me
How y'all missed the switch to misery is just a mystery to me
And if you don't agree that you could see the evidence before you
Then it's Ovaltine, 'cause I need to ignore you
Either over, please, or we succeed to tell you "we adore you"
But I know this means we won't be speaking for a year or two

When I was five
I Thought You Loved Me
Who else, had I, to trust?
Who else survived, but us?
You took the bribe to hush
And let him touch me

When I was five
I Thought You Loved Me
I really thought you loved me...
Baby Jack, coming up, asking for a "huggy"
