the 2008 recession, my parent's divorce, and superman

December 07', we just bought a house together What could be better, than a family in Coon Rapids Two bedrooms upstairs, and a bedroom in the basement The basement's unfinished But think what we could make of it 06', that's when we had our only son And he's finally one so it's time for our own home, in the suburbs We could paint his room blue And put up superhero stickers in the place his hopes and dreams will die in I tore those stickers down They looked like my dad when I was young He was a personal trainer, but now he let himself go I tore those stickers down And put up those who don't look down on me as a child 'Cause lets be honest, Superman liked his dog more than his boy My parents bought a house I grew up out my clothes and shoes My sister drew up on the walls And I got bruised, and she would fall My dad went out and fucked a girl Came home and blamed it on my mom You might know about that 'cause it seems to happen a lot And did he lie about? Yeah, like a lot, right mom? And she probably thought What about this house we bought? We can't sell it we'd lose a lot? Who's gonna watch the kids? I can't lose my job, I'd lose a lot Mom you're crazy, that's what dad says Dad's living in the past tense Oh, f*ck, you know it really makes me mad 'Cause we were four and six and he washed our brains With bad names for the only parent that we had 'Cause dad you're not a dad anymore I renounce it, I hate you that bad I wanna get better, I'm not getting better I wanna get better, I'm not getting better This is the most honest I've been in my entire life I finally feel fucking free and I still wanna fucking die I dropped out of high school 'cause I hated all the people Now I'm home alone, staring through the peephole I don't want no empathy, I don't want no sympathy You're all better than me and we can just accept it I'm not getting better, I wrote you a letter Will I send it, never You should let me die in peace
