Piece of Mind

Beyond the revelations, beyond the empty lies
There’s a truth which seems unreachable
And yet were trying our best to survive
We’re happy boys and girls
My dad came home trashed today
He expects me to behave
and to work my ass off And pretend
I ain’t going to end up the same way
He’s fooling himself,
disappointment’s never been a help
She didn’t notice
until she looked in his eyes,
the same old lies
A whole life built on failure
No,
we can’t forgive the kids we were before
My dad came home trashed today
He expects me to behave
And to work my ass off and pretend
I ain’t going to end up the same way
He’s fooling himself
No,
We can’t forgive the kids we were before
Beyond the revelations, beyond the empty lies
The same old fake reaction to bullshit and disguise
And the shame
