If I could paint you a picture that clouds the dreams
I'd show you all of the finer things
I'd dry out your leaves, I'd paint the sky black
You wanted to prove we're not the same
Honesty people you'll never beat
As the kids die in front of me
I hate you for now
The problems of out past
I'll prove we're not the same
I heard things from a friend of a friend
I guess this is how it goes
Thought you're better now
The contracts end
I thought I should let you know
That I'm just the same as family's been
The american dream they fishing there
You gotta let it go
And let it mend
Four o' clock six just sleep up speak
Give me some space to let me breathe
I was too young back then to see
How you affected me
Everything you've come to know falls down on you
If I could paint you a picture that clouds the dreams
I'd show you all of the finer things
I'd dry out your leaves, I'd paint the sky black
You wanted to prove we're not the same
Honesty people you'll never beat
As the kids die in front of me
I hate you for now
The problems of out past
I'll prove we're not the same
You came in and stole and you broke and you took
You ripped and you tore every page from my books
Shut down don't wanna believe until we choke
You stepped in you stepped out but where did you look?
I hated you when I was young
I hope your conscience leaves you sleepless
I pity you as time goes on
I'd like to think your world's in pieces
Four o' clock ticks just sleep up speak
Give me some space to let me breathe
I was too young back then to see
How you affected me
Everything you've come to know falls down on you
I hope someday you build the thing you brought me through
If I could paint you a picture that clouds the dreams
I'd show you all of the finer things
I'd dry out your leaves, I'd paint the sky black
You wanted to prove we're not the same
Honesty people you'll never beat
As the kids die in front of me
I hate you for now
The problems of out past
I'll prove we're not the same
I hope someday you feel the pain
I hope someday you feel the pain
I hope someday you feel the pain
I hope someday you feel the pain
I hope someday
I heard some things from a friend of a friend
I guess this is how it goes
Thought you're better now
Though I doubt you've grown
And when your son grows up
I hope he sees
The coward and the crook
And the world you took away from me
Just thought I'd let you know
That my father's twice the man
That you could ever be
And when your son grows up
I hope he sees
The coward and the crook
The house you shook
And the world you took away from me
