(Fuck it)

If I could paint you a picture of clouds and trees
And show you all of the finer things
I'd dry out your leaves and paint the sky black and white
To prove we're not the same
I've seen people who've never peaked
I've seen dreams die in front of me
I hate you for now but you won't defy my past
I'll prove we're not the same

I heard today from a friend of a friend I guess this is how it goes
They said you're better now
Moved on transcend, so I thought I should let you know
That I'm just the same, this families bent
The American dream they visioned then
They had to let it go, and let it mend

So for Christ sake just leave us be
Give me some space and let me breathe
I was too young back then to see
How you affected me
I hope everything you've come to know walks out on you

If I could paint you a picture of clouds and trees
And show you all of the finer things
I'd dry out your leaves and paint the sky black and white
To prove we're not the same
I've seen people who've never peaked
I've seen dreams die in front of me
I hate you for now but you won't defy my past
I'll prove we're not the same

You came and you saw and you broke and you took
You ripped and you tore every page from our book
This house now a war, our foundation was shook
And the impression you left on how a family should look

I hated you when I was young
I hope your conscience leaves you sleepless
I pity you as time goes on
I'd like to think your worlds in pieces

For Christ sake just leave us be
Give me some space and let me breathe
I was too young back then to see
How you affected me
I hope everything you've come to know walks out on you
I hope someday you feel the pain you put me through

If I could paint you a picture of clouds and trees
And show you all of the finer things
I'd dry out your leaves and paint the sky black and white
To prove we're not the same
I've seen people who've never peaked
I've seen dreams die in front of me
I hate you for now but you won't defy my past
I'll prove we're not the same

I hope someday you feel the pain
I hope someday you feel the pain
I hope someday you feel the pain
I hope someday you feel the pain
I hope someday

I heard it today from a friend of a friend
I guess this is how it goes
He said you're better now
But I doubt you've grown
And when your son grows up I hope he sees
The coward and the crook
And the world you took away from me

So I thought I'd let you know
That my father's twice the man
That you could ever be
And when your son grows up
I hope he sees the coward and the crook
The house you shook
And the world you took away from me...
