Lyrics: PM me for corrections

once apon a time in a house like yours
the memories of your battered mother were the real thing
your learned to keep your mouth shut and finish your chores
becuz you know who's fault it is when the kitchens not clean

how could someone so strong live on her knees
i hated when she cried so i loved watching them leave
but you can never describe the colors that you've seen
watching your father be dragged away by the police

everywhere we went i left bloody finger prints
that tracked me back to all the secrets that i kept
the different personalities and roles that i assumed
altering reality and resisting the truth

my mother never left the house so we reciprocated suffering
alone together, living for hopes of recovering
we wept together often we saw with the same eyes
the lineage movies screens plays screens and lies

its hard to rest at night in a house that never sleeps
see my family *role and mop* stay awake for weeks
while my cousins and i create our own comfort zone
and try to reissue the innocence that they left in the foster homes

its nobodies fault and i know that nobodies perfect
but 'im sorry' repeatedly never really makes it right
maybe we can find a better way if we keep searching
i'm not the kind of coward that goes out without a fight

chores:
the sun never takes away the light
the earth just turns her back on him at night
though everyone's aware of her affair with the moon
he welcomes her back but she's repacked by noon
still he never gives up and he never goes away
he replenishes her energy by providing the day
if i could be like him would they appreciate the rays
and what would happen next if she decided to stay

now i'm twenty something and i'm looking for shelter
letting my dreams die slow because i cant move on
tossin 'em back at the river to calm back the summer's winter
and forget about the way you only care after i'm gone

the type of guy that stays at the bar till close
bringing the best friend out of strangers that i don't know
karaoke, freestyle, or rip the new age twist
ill be doing what i do over your favorite eighties hits

always leaving alone, drunken double when your single
time to make that drive singing that stream line jingle
but that doesn't really matter because its always time to go
especially when you cant ever seem to have a real home

hey you think you could lend me a couple bones
ill pay you back in herb man this dude owes me his own
i'm sure i'm sleeping but ill borrow a cell phone
ill make the call when it gets dark, we'll hit the park and get stoned

we talk a lot about life, how a lot of things hurt
we found optimism in the fact that things could get worse
and it probably will under these faulty circumstances
but we've always been the type of kids that like to take chances

i'm willing to take chance at happiness too
and visions of sleeping in a bed and eating good food
where love is the real thing not a mind trick cruise
and the intruder in the mirror finally looks like you

chores x2

The first slash is... "Tossing 'em back at the river to calm back the summer's winter"

the second slash is... "We found optimism in the fact that things could get worse"
