To my mother, to my father It's your son or it's your daughter Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me Should I turn this up for you? I sit here
And it's been awhile Since I could hold my head up high And it's been awhile Since I first saw you And it's been awhile Since I could stand On my own
I try to breathe Memories overtaking me I try to face them but The thought is too much to conceive I only know that I can change Everything else just
This is my life, it's not what it was before All these feelings I've shared And these are my dreams That I'd never lived before Somebody shake me 'Cause
Here we are, there's nowhere else to go And that's so far from where we all could be But you can't feel my disappearing And you should take this for what

I'm so lonely You're so beautiful Not the only One that's pitiful Scratched and torn I lay here in pieces Craving all of your deadly vices Like to think

Motherf***, you push yourself on me You force yourself on me You free yourself through me You'd better save yourself from me Every time you want me to
