Cop in the basement Mind growing impatient Seeing all my family broken down it's wrote in their faces Momma saying there's coke Throat squeeze like a rope Can't relive the time without the twitching fingers and toes Been trying to cope With feeling so cold At the age of twelve my dad was hauled away, losing hope "Baby, why are you doing this?" Couldn't go through with it See the empty look on my dad While I empty tears, every one I had Turning individuals to simple subject and matter See momma's heart shatter Got coke flows and imperial batter The blood, make is splatter and lambs to the slaughter Dad looked at his daughters, expecting applauders But no one was harder to see through I was the exception to the news of my dad Made it bad Bring him back The exception to the dudes that you wouldn't look at They broke the doors down with sledgehammers and gats The oath clowns who only knew that my father was Matt I broke down the way that their hammers attacked Then wrote down the lyrics and not the names on their badge See, it's always fictional Heart opens, medicinal Heart closes, it's lyrical Hard to focus, the miracle As a child I wasn't understood That's why I feel like the burden of my existence isn't what it could- Turn into something Positive must bring The feeling of trusting The judgement I must see Why couldn't I just be An understanding child to know I couldn't control it? My family is losing hope, or maybe it's me Cop in the basement Mind growing impatient Seeing all my family broken down it's wrote in their faces Momma saying there's coke Throat squeeze like a rope Can't relive the time without the twitching fingers and toes Been trying to cope With feeling so cold At the age of twelve my dad was hauled away, losing hope "Baby, why are you doing this?" Couldn't go through with it See the empty look on my dad While I empty tears, every one I had Moving away, so sinister scary Like cops' holsters with pistols and the way they would carry them I got a new room, a new house, a past I could bury But nothing compared to seeing the cops, the way he was carried It's got to be shared and you got to be caring To the new kid, they acted and forgot the red herring They always clueless and blatant, they forgot to be sparing Always knew this, so I decided I should probably mind my fucking business The wrist slits And missed friends I benefitted from it I swear to God if someone insults me, you'll see my shit flip, I Just can't, I Seen so many things that I Can't resort to violence, even if it's on my mind, uh Used to pain it don't matter if I bleed some I've been feeling lately that I think that I just need one To feel what I feel To just soak in the sun No drugs and no pills I just need to feel "fun" And I've been open to trying new things and trying new dreams But I can't help but feel this world's been hiding from me And lying to me Aside from the things that I can't believe It's really showed that I've been always kept in the dark And now we're back to the start With lights flashing like its glow in the dark Pain is necessary for creating new art The nuances may seem a little trivial But I ain't rich yet, so I can't buy myself a new heart Cop in the basement Mind growing impatient Seeing all my family broken down it's wrote in their faces Momma saying there's coke Throat squeeze like a rope Can't relive the time without the twitching fingers and toes Been trying to cope With feeling so cold At the age of twelve my dad was hauled away, losing hope "Baby, why are you doing this?" Couldn't go through with it See the empty look on my dad While I empty tears, every one I had
