Can't Even Imagine


No one understands how these kids felt Getting tore up by a belt He called 'em up and their hearts began to melt Hung their life by two chords Cut them deeper than three swords Thrown down a river strung to four boards Their minds filled with darkness Cuz their dad was heartless But I'd never let them part less They desire Cuz they gone use this fire Don' let your eyes tire Til you've got higher I'd go back and plea Tell him leave it be Coulda kept a good thing Strung to a ring But that's down the drain after he began to sing "Oh baby, I know we had four No matter If your hearts still sore Feelin pain down to the core I never wanna see you enter Through the motherfuckin door I fucked another whore" It rings through my head As if I were the one To whom it was said Not taking the cred It wouldn't be fair, My parents, they care About us as a whole They live by a motto That all acts have a toll Listenin to the soul It will score that goal The parents' dream Their childs face.., with a smile What a gleam! Even if he tore their seam Barely hangin' on the beam They never let out a scream But if all they hear Are the words they fear Or what causes them to tear The whore's motherfuckin cheer As the father starts out: dear "I fucked her here" One must ask permission Cuz we had no premonition For what the reasons are For causin' such a scar In four potential stars But now they've had their life Torn, ripped and spun out of control "Oh baby, I know we had four No matter If your hearts still sore feelin pain down to the core I never wanna see you enter Through the motherfuckin door I fucked another whore" Screwed a family that was fully functional Shaping kids to think its sensual To steal and manipulate But we discriminate Tell them there's more to life Than this trait Glide them in the right direction Show them the correction Stop the recollection Of what their father said What the fuck was goin' through his head He's a stupid predator Preyin' on kids walkin' through the door They're so young With a little lung, barely able to breathe His words cut them like a sheathe Stringing them tighter then a wreathe It's fucking charmless They're harmless Let them out of their harness Trapped to them like a carcass These words shake their core like maracas "Never enter through that motherfucking door"
