My feet couldn't reach the pedals
|
So my father got on his knees
|
He used his hands to press the pedals
|
At the bottom of the Hammond B3
|
Six years old and I lied about the school grades
|
I told my momma that my daddy already reprimanded me
|
And when my father found out he beat me with a belt of leather
|
Until my arms bled open and it caused my back to bleed
|
|
So as a growing young man I act like a six year old
|
I act like a little ass boy
|
And I'm protective of all my toys
|
Cause they're the only things that never judge me
|
|
That's why I act like a six year old
|
Full of imagination and wonder,
|
I'm still afraid of falling under
|
|
Six years old and I'm staring at a movie screen
|
In a dark sanctuary shaking watching image of the beast
|
Repeated nightmares can't even sleep at 23
|
Thanks a lot dad now I'm stuck with fuckin' PTSD
|
|
Now my relationships suffer and I can't live a normal life
|
But your philosophies daddy said
|
It's alright to scare off to Christ,
|
So when I'm selfish and needy or I act like a spoiled brat
|
Just trying to function normally with a mother playing mom or dad.
|
|
I always felt like the world hated me although I do my best,
|
Like I'm the only best friend
|
People kind of wish they never had
|
|
Six years old
|
I'm a little ass boy
|
And I'm protective of my toys
|
They're the only things that never judge me
|
|
I'm a six year old full of imagination
|
I'm protective of my toys cause they never judge me
|
Because they never judge me
|
And I'm still afraid of going under
|
|
Who's going to catch
|
Catch the fallen, fallen?
|
Fallen
|
Fallen
|
Who's going to catch the fallen?
|
Someone say fallen, fallen, fallen
|
Who's going to catch the fallen?
|
