esse never leaves his bedroom
whats he do in there
daddy turns on the TV
he doesn’t give a damn
look right into his eyes
do you never truly care
i just stare out my window
we could be anywhere
your mother, she lives like a child
happiness is ignorance
the things I see wear down on me
now turn back up the TV
i live and I hope to forget
but it always comes back to me
the fear in her eyes as she passed away
and I must live another day
not shaving on the weekends
you’ll find yourself getting in trouble
never leave the house and I’ll say
“okay, now that’s enough”
when I’m far away,
i never wanna go home
to the empty beer cans and fluorescent lights that
shine on through to the morning
i went to the garage,
he was under the car
i was gonna leave
but he took me
i feel like i’ve awoken from a very strange dream
and god knows I have no idea what it means
stains on our clothing
holes in the wall
i'm so scared that i’ve missed it all
