David LaLone - Two Aunts Lyrics

The wind races up my back
Sending chills along my spine
I'm aware that I have a nervous system
Though my nerves can be erratic
I'm not too sure there lies a system
I'm told there's often a method to the madness
And a wreckage after the sadness

I've been breaking bread
With those that once spoon fed... me
Toxic lies for breakfast
Manipulative cries for lunch
And for dinner- apathy
This left me in agony
Belly aching
Dry heaving
I couldn't even vomit
The shit I was fed

Needles in my veins
They were just there to drain
Every ounce of courage
Every sense of peace
Whatever flame they saw they doused with worry
I sat there extinguished
Not realising I was distinguished
Don't call me a black sheep
I'm a f*cking unicorn
A mythical creature
Amongst a bunch of asses
Why am I the one sitting in the ashes?
It took two aunts
To find the diamond
Who couldn't shine
Without some donuts and coffee
With laughter- they washed me
With truth- they lifted me
With faith, in me, they healed
Throwing off my crutches
They commanded me to walk
They wiped the mud off my eyes
So I could see
They were 100% ok
With me, being me
Their warm embrace calmed the shivers
Always the breeze prickling my nerves
Though there is a storm outside
I got two anchors
To keep me above the sea
I was drowning
And they saved me
From the sharks that circle me
