You’re becoming a memory

Here in this fading light are your faces

Those who were once a broken family

Are now spreading roots in different places

 

And like trees we’ll grow

Far above your graves

But you’ll never know

Because you don’t remember those days

 

Just like I won’t remember you soon

You were in a world of fabrication

That you left us as complete as the moon

Choking on the very scent of your intoxication

 

I’ve been offered sympathy

I’ve been force fed love

I let it overwhelm me

And I saw what it does

 

It left me withdrawn into myself

It made me need it more

While burning in a plastic hell

I realized what your drugs were for

 

Life is a perception

And not many like the way its perceived

So, in comes intoxication

And gives us all new things to see

 

But new things destroy what once was

No one can fix it

But wait there are more drugs

Let’s pay intoxication a visit!

 

This new companion

Is digging tunnels in our brains

Driving some of us to ruin

And some of us insane

Don’t you love it when a stranger walks into your brain?

And says, can we play a game?

Because I try and I try to go back

But nothing is the same

And mom you never held my head

And dad you never tucked me into bed

And mom you never kissed my cheek

And dad you never showed me how to speak

So, when I got picked on and cast out

And I didn’t know how to use my mouth

Intoxication was there for me

When you were nothing but a memory

And the drugs will never did burn

As much as your lack of concern

And now it’s all said and done

Sincerely,

Your inadequate son
