When I was nine and reckless sunburnt and covered in dirt my mother yelled that all I ever do is make a mess Now I make a point to clean twice as much as my siblings When I was ten and childish loud-mouthed and over-excited my mother yelled that if she ever saw my face again she would **** me Now I stay out of her way when she's angry When I was eleven and enamored by the world learning, stuffing my head with facts and numbers my mother yelled that I talk to much and should learn to be quiet Now I keep my discoveries to myself When I was twelve and growing Always hungry, always eating my mother yelled that I over doubled our grocery bill Now I don't eat much at home When I was thirteen and lonely talked to the moon and the stars my mother yelled that I should get a friend; stop lazing around home Now I stay out of my house as much as possible Now I'm fourteen and finally happy tanned and shouting at the top of my lungs my mother yells that I don't spend enough time with my family Now I refuse to listen to those screams The words your mother says stay with you your entire life I won't let them

Sunburns and tanlines
When I was nine and reckless sunburnt and covered in dirt my mother yelled that all I ever do is make a mess Now I make a point to clean twice as much as my siblings When I was ten and childish loud-mouthed and over-excited my mother yelled that if she ever saw my face again she would **** me Now I stay out of her way when she's angry When I was eleven and enamored by the world learning, stuffing my head with facts and numbers my mother yelled that I talk to much and should learn to be quiet Now I keep my discoveries to myself When I was twelve and growing Always hungry, always eating my mother yelled that I over doubled our grocery bill Now I don't eat much at home When I was thirteen and lonely talked to the moon and the stars my mother yelled that I should get a friend; stop lazing around home Now I stay out of my house as much as possible Now I'm fourteen and finally happy tanned and shouting at the top of my lungs my mother yells that I don't spend enough time with my family Now I refuse to listen to those screams The words your mother says stay with you your entire life I won't let them
