these baby secrets have grown into children /
through dirty adolescence and now into manhood /
I locked the basement door and broke off the skeleton key /
but it made no difference still they travel with me even though I k**ed them they haunt me and they help me /
remember the lies in the shadows, the practiced charades /
my hands are an axe chopping at the roots /
of the only family tree that could ever bear fruit /
to cripple you to make sure that you never reproduce /
another heart of lies or house of haunted rooms
the arrow is thrown into your back nothing has ever been /
so distant and weak /
dreaded words whispered under her breath "your just like your father" /
your ocean is a drop of water
tightly woven wire mesh beneath the broken salesman as he's rolling down the conveyer belt /
the product is almost ready to be shipped out the door /
out into the world to make a living selling plastic faces to everyone who needs em /
to forget the lies in the shadows, the practiced charades /
the enemy will make sure the ties on straight /
it's always best to make an impression of wealth /
no matter how much hatred and debt is boiling beneath the surface /
"I love you" spills like vomit from her lips
the arrow is thrown into your back /
nothing has ever been so distant and weak /
the dreaded words whispered under her breath "you're just like your father" /
your ocean is a drop of water /
I locked the basement doors and broke of the skeleton key /
forget the lies in the shadows, don't forget me
