sent to a world of unreachable dreams
a life to live with hurt
sounds of your laughter that buried my screams
a prayer that's gone unheard
why oh why do we hate so
why do we live with such shame
why oh why do we live so
careless, burning holes into our minds?
i keep thinking of all the promises broken
the lies, the abuse, the hurt
thinking of god and why my family's broken
why my prayers go unheard
why oh why do we hate so
why do we live in shame
why oh why do we live so
careless burning holes into our minds?
Father's turned his back on the family values
kicked over sandcastles dishonored my mom
put me down at every turn!
watched as my wife's family as they do the same thing
turn to god as a reason for why they're cruel
I sat and watched as her tears hit the floor
to see her heart's eternal duel
Why oh why do we hate so
why do we live in shame?
why oh why do we live so
careless burning holes into our minds?
Wishing for peace with my brother
wishing for peace from god
wishing for dreams of my family
to finally no longer be enemies...
No more burning holes into our minds.
Building that bridge between father and kid,
being punished for every stupid thing I said or did,
brother acted like he's big and strong,
not when some badguys came along,
only when he could beat me down,
picked on me because I'm the only one around.
Sister gave her heart for the dollar,
living a sara palin clone mindset
too good to give her sister a hollar.
Bragging all about that christian crusade,
but it's only them who's brandishing a blade.
Where in the bible does it say
if you hang with the dogs you catch fleas?
Why is their faith so weak that
the fear of marilyn manson brings them to their knees?
Criticize me on my morals as you cast me away
because my faith in god is expressed a different way
Doesn't your holy texts tell you to embrace the love
give your holy body to the powers above
it's not like you look to the sky to even see a peace dove
but it's been there, I sent it to you.
on it's leg a letter to you, one last dream for me and you
that we all become family under one god,
don't call it a name, just accept that we're odd.
We were created to do as we do,
it helps people live happily as we can show you.
We don't have to be involved in your mess
don't have to have our lives be ruined by
Ralph, Edith, Rebecca, Max and Jess.
If they want to hate us, we let them do so,
but knowing in god we are loved beyond what they know.
We know god loves us and has angels to tell us so.
We speak and write of wisdom that's in your books
and we'll share it so you can know.
We got to do things that you'll never get to do
we'll get to see things you'll never get to see
we'll make friends you'll probably never meet
and it's sad, I wish you'd all come with me.
It's a joy to have life friends, loyal and devoted,
can carry on justice in your life to the end,
with grace, dignity and honor. Not many have that.
We wish all those who'd turned their backs on us well.
We pray that they'll see our hearts still reach out to them
and wish to be family and no longer live in an emotional hell.
No more tears, just laughter and joy, I'd love it if my wife could
see her daughter and boy. The monster she'd bore children for
I wish would just disappear, and the family give them to us
so we can show them the right way to raise children.
Compassionate and understanding, intolerant of intolerance and
accepts no bullshit from stupid people, embraces the smart people,
teaching them to listen, teaching them to learn,
teaching them ways for their living to be earned.
Giving them things I know they never had,
a clean home, healthy food, a loving mom and dad.
My dream for the future I can plainly see
an image of a truly happy life, my wife, children and me.
so many unheard tapes, unheard songs I dream of completing but
rarely get a chance to do it because of all the distractions
I have that are out of my control.
I dream of one day doing the kind of art and songs that
bring peace in people's hearts and turn down people
who're evil and don't give evil a chance to thrive.
Evil's been rewarded for far too long,
it's time for my structures to regain in this song.
Sent to the world of unreachable dreams
a life to live with hurt
sounds of your laughter that buried my screams
my prayers they seemed unheard
just wanted acceptance you tossed me aside
treated me like you'd be happy if I died
creatures of darkness haunted my soul
whenever you hurt me I lost my control
tears flowed like waterdrops flooding the town
nightmares of homelessness tearing me down
knowing I got nowhere to turn it just makes me cry
the wall of unacceptance that's there, don't know why
The gods have created us the same way,
All of the rituals are heard the same way.
don't admonish me for my faith in god,
though my ways of expressing it are a bit odd.
I don't want to hurt anymore
or see my wife hurt anymore.
I don't want to hurt anymore
or see my wife hurt anymore.
What we have in common is we have family who'll never accept us
for who we are, and will always think we're nothing
but bums. We reach out to all those who're feeling the same
and send us a shout out and we hope that you join us and
pray.
Pray to all the gods, all the spirits, in a way they can hear us.
Music.
All sound is is music, all music is is sound.
