lyrics

You were the lion of our pride
On and off since I was nine
If you only knew
Everything me and my sister went through
During your mid-life crisis
Ditched my Mom when she was depressed
No help, hopeless
And left to fend for ourselves

Back again, said you made a mistake
Always such a fucking cliché
Nothing you've said explains
Why all of a sudden your spine is missing
What's made you so soft?
Friday night soaps or Sunday golf?
Seeing me you're probably wondering
Why I'm glaring at you grinding my teeth

'Cause it's not monkey see, then monkey do
If you're sipping tea, while I'm sniffing glue
So take a look and be amazed
At the kids you didn't raise
Lack of trust replaced with rage
Building every single day
What you mean is never true
All you say you never do
I will never be anything like you

It's kind of funny when I miss the old man who
When out of line would beat my ass
I wanna see him one more time
Now that I'm big enough to fight back
You doormat don't try and tell me how
I'll think when I'm as old as ya
Just shut up and stay down
'Cause this is our house now, this is our house now

It's not monkey see, then monkey do
If you're sipping tea, while I'm sniffing glue
So take a look and be amazed
At the kids you didn't raise
Lack of trust replaced with rage
Building every single day
What you mean is never true
All you say you never do
I will never be anything like you

You don't know more than me
Just 'cause you're 53 and I'm 19
There won't be some epiphany
That makes abandoning seem okay to me
I remember every night I heard my mother cry
The same reason my brother pulled a knife
On you so long ago
How do you still not know?
Every brick you have built
Into this broken home

It's not monkey see, then monkey do
If you're sipping tea, while I'm sniffing glue
So take a look and be amazed
At the kids you didn't raise
Lack of trust replaced with rage
Building every single day
What you mean is never true
All you say you never do
I will never be anything like you
