[Verse 1: IDSTAYAWAYTOO]
October 27th 1998 is the day that I was placed upon this (?)
I was late. My mother was an addict and my Father was the same
My body was enlarged and I could not deviate that we suffered as children my brother and I grown so used to it
Grotesque in the mind they had was secluded
Left us with wounds that we could not manage
Our Father took charge and away we went camping was gone for a year with no sight of damage
Until we were forced to revisit the baggage
No remorse here I'll spill your blood on my canvas
You birthed a child to that perpetrator
You put a bomb in my hand like a stranger
You sat along as I played with the danger
I could not change her
Nearly 22 and I'm already divorced and I got a precious child that I will not ignore
I'm searching for the balance that I got to restore
I'm cleansing all my habits and I'm shutting the door
All the people the vices the evil inside 'em the creep from below to remind me I'm violent
Silence inside the asylum defining the truth from the lies I had to disguise
[Verse 2: Rozz Dyliams]
I could never wait and watch you waste away forever
There was something about you I always gravitated towards but what it is I can't seem to remember
I moved away that's probably why I never ever got that letter
Even if I would I probably would have put return to sender
I've been learning now to tell myself that I've been doing better
But I still feel like tangled mangled feathers in the fender
How was I suppose to know that you would go where no one goes
And I would set the scene and hope that all my signs would lead you home
And back to basics
Anyway just show me that you are still here
And write me something to make me laugh and then fog up the glass and the steam on the mirror
