The house we had on that cul-de-sac
The days of content
He was so happy and able
Knowing we were stable
Until the balance was tipped
Our family torn apart
She left him and all I had were these words of comfort
Telling me everything's going to be alright
But inside I knew it wasn't and I was right
They split up
He drinks now
I stay locked in my room
I can hear him cry late at night
The sorrowful sounds fill my ears
I tell myself he's fine he'll get through it in time
But inside I knew he wouldn't and I was right
He keeps sinking
Why does he keep sinking
Someone tell me why does he keep sinking
During the daytime
I would go over and say hi
That word we knew so well
The only word we could exchange
We were becoming strangers him and I
I barely visit anymore
I think he's doing better
I rarely see you anymore
Dad, I hope you're doing better
Another f*cking step on this long walk of mine
Towards a goal I don't even know half the time
My stride to a better life
So f*cking difficult but atleast I'll try
Scared shitless of normalcy
I'm just full of uncertainties
Please accept me
You talk about your dreams
While I'm still torn at the seams
I don't even know what I desire
I'll try and conspire
Figure out this convoluted story of mine
Might as well put everything on hold
Just to find out where I was told to be
I'll find out where I am
