| Envision a prison of age
|
| where the apparent disposition is out of apparent commision to live in a cage
|
| To its a appearance where decisions are made
|
| to not listen, and they got their fist in opposion to fair play
|
| must be in your soliction of rage
|
| you became a victim the same way
|
| the system that gave way
|
| inflictin the same pain
|
| you convicted and cant blame
|
| recondition your brain till you convince you cant change
|
| understand and be wishin
|
| family tradition wont end you in a position where you feel in the rein
|
| lonely without a home, cause now your childs lone
|
| wearin a milestone like its «? |
| «cryin we all alone
|
| hopin that god forgives you
|
| wonderin if you get too
|
| no one should have to live through
|
| the violence that you been through
|
| the fight thats still within you
|
| its time to make things right and free the child that lives within you
|

|
| grippin his coat that froze two hours ago
|
| 7 year olds waitin
|
| takes another look at a picture that lost time painted
|
| put it away
|
| i cant look at it the truth stings a little when u look at it we creatin a mold of bad habits
|
| when the teacher got eleven year olds that blast at em and the world tunes in just then
|
| listenin to every word that he shoulda heard at age ten
|
| that he wonders where it all began
|
| he could call you a father
|
| but couldnt really ever call you a friend
|
| you work hard to provide a home for good livin
|
| and you figured thats all you really had to give em now
|
| if you dont know much know this
|
| all work no play

|
| it was once said that the grass with wither and the flowers will fall down
|
| and every man must pass when his number gets called
|
| but when a child takes his life that type of logic dont work out
|
| a flower never told to pluck its own petals out
|
| and throughout all the tears
|
| it gets so clear
|
| that the son i held dear
|
| i lost somewhere
|
| between my work passion and a childs size casket
|
| its hard to grasp when these dreams keep flashin
|
| his cold foot hanging from a stainless steel table
|
| and a white sheet stained with a mothers pain and grief
|
| and every day i wipe the faces filling the pain
|
| so another scape goat thats just filling the blame
|
| what kind of man am i?
|
| what kind of mother were you?
|
| what kind of life did we subject a child too?
|
| wishin i woulda listened
|
| couldve probably seen whose prayin for salvation that a soul could sure use
|
| Hear me See me do you even know im still breathing?
|
| I listen to the sounds of the tv the only thing that really wants to reach me Daddy listen
