作曲 : Abilities, Eyedea | |
I never knew my mom, once I was born she was dead | |
She never wanted me. At least that's what my dad said | |
He said she was polluted, ignorant, uncivilized | |
And that was roughly the outline of what he beat into my head | |
I grew up in a house with more rooms than I could count | |
No siblings, just strangers always moving in and out | |
My dad hated all our neighbors | |
Had they stepped on his prophets they'd be finished | |
'Cause getting his is what he was about | |
Ever since his birth, he was a nuisance to humanity | |
I wish he died instead of mom. Maybe then I'd love family | |
But I'd smile at pops, concealing that feeling of, "I hate you." | |
Each day he'd wear the same three colors, with the same suit | |
And mother would come to me when I would close my eyes and sink | |
To the thought of her beautiful voice, and the lullabies she'd sing | |
'Til I was sound asleep. Then I'd awake and she'd be gone | |
My whole life, my soul echoed her songs | |
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side | |
And intangible experience structures one leviathan | |
From the Koran to leprechauns | |
Since when did America fall in between Lebanon and Ireland? | |
[chorus x2] | |
Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot | |
Angel in my father's eyes, only 'cause it helps him rot | |
Freedom screams through a sky, wounded by a culture shock | |
Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot | |
His philosophy was to be up, you gotta push someone down | |
That was all I knew 'cause that was all I was around | |
I found the flaws in his methods from the cause in myself | |
Father Diablo: Only an uncle to every one else | |
He taught me how to talk without looking in your eyes | |
Gave me a nine to five, made me ignore the lullabies | |
A puddle of the dried tears shade me colorless | |
And categorize me as a baby failing to realize how far away his mother is | |
Our relationship hovered with strength, even though it's invisible | |
Hard to quit hearing her poetry. Piercing emotions leak | |
With the notes she hits I float, defying gravitation | |
The only mom I have is in my imagination. So it goes | |
[chorus] | |
One day daddy's gonna die, choking on the gun he bought | |
And when that day comes I shall return to my mother | |
And we'll walk hand in hand straight to heaven | |
And when the clouds part, I'll tell her that I love her | |
And she'll accept with an open heart. No question | |
Unless dad was right, and she really was a monster | |
Maybe her silhouette reflects the hell of his own childhood | |
Maybe she's so insane, no one cared to help | |
But if nothing else on this earth could mend her spirit, I bet my smile could | |
The volumes of her songs decreased the older that I grew | |
Daddy became my only influence of attitude | |
Now I'm robotically imperialistic, and careless of people | |
A trait inherited by my parent's omnipotent ego | |
His symbol's the eagle, but his child isn't free | |
You'll see no sign around my neck saying I'm proud to be me | |
I'm not grown up, the concept of adulthood is dead | |
He left scars on my back when my notebook was read | |
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side | |
And intangible experience structures one leviathan | |
From the Koran to leprechauns | |
Since when did America fall in between Lebanon and Ireland? | |

Daddy don't think that I forgot |
