Broken Pieces

wake up in the morning
eyes red from lack of sleep
take the empty bottle off the floor
clean the blood off of the knife
pick at the scabs til the bleed some more
just wish you could forget your life
chorus:
we try to fix what's broken
butthe pieces never seem to fit
we try to make do with whats left over
but it never seems to be enough
we try so hard to stay balanced
but we always end up falling
don't ever wanna see his face again
don't ever wanna be his slave again
never want him in my life again
won't let him near myneck again
chorus
he used to be my daddy dearest
now he's just another abuser
another mistake in this world
he's not my daddy
he's mystrangler
the one that makes me pull thebottle to my lips
and the knife to my wrists
chorus
she's just as afraid of him as me
her eyes flash with fear
everytime he walks through the door
she closes her eyes when he comes near
and pretends not to see
she closes herears when i'm screaming
and pretends not to hear
chorus
he moves towards me
i can't help wondering
how he got this way
he used to be my brother
my savior
now he's the man he hates
well like father, like son
mommy may be full of fear
but its better than being dead inside ya know
