Oh, how I want to sail away from here
Everything smells like fear, smells like beer
How can I sleep when I know what's going on in the next room
Laying in the darkness you just want it to go away
Every scream, every slam brings chills down your back
My toes are cold with sweat how long am I going to stay
This way let it slip and fall and hit the rack
Love is about making sacrifices, not blaming the other for all it's worth
You clean the dishes
No you're lazy
You don't care
Who took the kids out then?
I'm going to pull out my hair
Why is it that everything good on this earth is yours
Are these your kids? I gave them birth
What do you do besides run to the corner and hide behind your palm tree
Watching your own dad turn into a monster
Pushing her down, you turn and flea
How can you be a son, to watch your mother cry and feel nothing
Broken, hopeless the sky falls
Stuck looking in the mirror wondering what you've become, wondering where all your feelings have gone
Grab the keys, slam the door harder than any of them
Rationalize my actions for leaving my family alone
I've seen my sister scared for her life
I've seen my mother cry and want to **** herself
I've seen my dad hit his wife
But all I care about is myself
Listening to them until the break of dawn
Can't you see what your doing to your daughter
How can you call yourself a father
Having your wife and children hide locked in the bathroom cause you're such a bother
Maniac, but depressed what do I do
He just wanted the love of the family but not getting it through
Slamming his head on the bed frame in the daughter's view
What does it take to love someone so much
How does it become such an obligation
How do you lose that touch
Oh, I want to sail away from here
I'm never following my fathers footsteps not going to be molded into that shape
Just going to drive, going to strive for you
I've seen what I've been denied, throw it all away, living the great escape
