Growing Down
He doesn't know what's wrong it's been
this way for much too long
and nothing could be easier than
blaming this on her
kicking in the womb she brings in up he
leaves the room
walk away all he has to say you got
what you deserve
It's your fault I don't think that it's
even mine
and I guess there's not much in his
little mind
it's a shame when it happens everyday
He doesn't stop to think that every
bottle that he drinks
is just an additive to ignorance hence
problems that exist
lay down on the bed and dream of
glory days instead
not egocentric attitudes solved problems
with a fist
I don't understand why he can
get so mad
she don't want it either but it's
too late dad
it's not right and I doubt next time I'll
think twice
Pretend that they're lovers but she feels
like a slave
how could I even know?
she's sinking to the bottom and he can't
feel her pain
too late cause the seeds were sown
Growing down instead of up where
you belong
always weak when you're requested
to be strong
it's a shame when it happens everyday

This is not a party--Where people know your name
This is not a classroom--With teacher at the board
This is not a catshow--With prizes at the door
CHORUS
Go--Don't you go
Won't you stay with me one more day
If we get through one more night
If we get through one more night
This is not a horse race--Where winners beat the time
This is not a funeral--With mourners in a line
This is not a sitcom--Where everything's alright
This is not a prison--With terror through the night.
CHORUS
