It was the turn of the century Nothing's ever meant to be Parents separating 'Cause they used up all their energy Fading like it's Emory Walking down my memory lane Play accessory To the enemy brain I've known only the pain... You don't know me the same As my father, "holy father" In the cold of the rain I'll try decoding the strain Time to get off the train Been an honor, but the armor Gets in way of the gains Call me circumstance's dumpster baby Never learned to dance, my lady Daddy said he loved me But he fucked up how he raised me It's no wonder that I'm crazy And my actions seem so racy To those happy on the daily And trusting in their safety But my action only hasty If you think I'll make to 80 I'm the Black Sheep of the Mabies 'Cause their memory is hazy They don't wanna face the truth I'm pulling roots until they hate me It was rape, not just abuse I won't paint it so dainty There ain't no sum you could pay me To get away from the Mic Like you stunned you can't degrade me Evaluating my psych Saw a lovely little baby And you made it your enemy Generations of the Mabies With a similar destiny, yeah Hampden, Hampden Terrace Hampden, Hampden Terrace (I Thought You Loved Me!) Hampden, Hampden Terrace Hampden, Hampden Terrace (But you saw something to use, how you choose) Hampden, Hampden Terrace Hampden, Hampden Terrace (I Thought You Loved Me!) Hampden, Hampden Terrace Hampden, Hampden Terrace (But I never meant shit to you, to tell you the truth) Divorce court had run its course So we had to double doors All the warring left me hoarse But that chord just got ignored Showing no remorse In pursuit of their reward Foreshadowing the force So their freedoms get restored Reality distorted All we knew as up was on the floor Twice a week deported To the front lines of foreign shores And we weren't supported While they were licking at their sores Suspicious ticking was reported But they left it in the drawer... Smell of liquor on the air Fingers running through my hair Something's off, but I can't place it Lay there patient and aware Don't avert my nervous stare From the wall and to the stairs Someone's there, and I can't face it I'm just really fucking scared I don't care to know who's standing there Santa Claus or Yogi Bear All I hear is breathing It's a demon, I could swear And I know not of the reason Why it had to be that evening That he'd interrupt my dreaming With an evil fucking glare But there's something off tonight! You can feel it in the quiet Barely six, I freeze in fright A light meal for the Goliath As his fingers take a bite Of the slice that god provided Focused on my upper thighs A man whose spirit was divided As a touch becomes a grip I am lifted from my bed Trembling, my upper lip Not a single word is said I can't read this situation Who's this holding on my head? Am I dreaming as I'm taken? Why am I so full of dread? Liquor heavy on his breath Hands are steady as I'm straightened Face-down on a bed I know that smell... there's no mistaking It's my Father's room I'd know that shoe polish anywhere Roy is probably coming too Why am I so fucking scared? 'Cause I'm dodging awful truths No six year old prepared For the pain that follows suit When Father pulls your underwear Don't know what the f*ck to do But lay still and trust his care It's my Dad! That much I knew So there's no danger to despair But I bear in mind I hear his belt is coming off Stuck in primal fear As he's climbing right on top Hot vodka on my ear Boy, the train has left the station! Sudden pressure to my rear As I scream in pain, I'm fainting
