Part Ways

Do I hate you or do I love you
A quotient of cynicism behind that mindset follows through
When does the mind turn from innocent
To resorting to drugs, money, and sex just to feel it
My heart pumps as I'm blazing past
A mind state of the lock down penmanship
Another war then peace, then war then peace
Another shroom to eat, then mind at ease

All that fumbling 'round just to say
I'm an innocent boy that got caught in the way
A father can abuse power and make us cower
To make us feel small next to a tower, I'm
I'm not allowed to speak for too long
'Fore the tears come crashing down and make us sing a song
Of paying grief with joy
Makes us feel small
I'm done with your stupid, how could you make us feel so wrong about

When we were so strong
When we were so wrong
When we were just out there
When life was just so fair

When we were so strong
When we were so wrong
When we were just out there
When life was just so fair

By the time I was fifteen, I had some broke down dreams
I could make it by myself without help it seems
My father's belt is imprinted, and my left ear rings
How could you take it so far
I guess we have our own things
Abuse is a cycle
It constantly shows how life goes
And now I only love when I night goes
I might close myself away and bring the knife close
I might throw myself to the wolves and see shadows

But now I'm done with talking back
I hate to see you gone and now I want you back
You were the one thing that caused me pressure
And pressure was the one thing that made me think that I felt safe

When we were so strong
When we were so wrong
When we were just out there
When life was just so fair

When we were so strong
When we were so wrong
When we were just out there
When life was just so fair

I'm alone inside this house, I have to sit and think
Do I have to forgive you and get back in sync
I want you right but I would shrink
Back to that little boy that couldn't even blink

Daddy you have no idea how much I want you
I love you so much but to see me would crush you
You wouldn't even want to see me anyways
So now as I leave this letter I wrote on your coffin
Now we must part ways
