[Intro]
This is the kind of sh** that happens when you're strange, man..
[Verse 1: O]
Meet Eric and Eric is strange, Eric has got a devil inside of his brain
Tried to explain to his pops he's insane, but his pops gave him oxy to pop for the pain
And his mom is to blame, popping prescriptions
Couldn't talk to pop because pop wouldn't listen
Ma started b**hin', addiction is itchin', but pop's cooking rock with the pots in the kitchen
They're both on soap, baggies of coke, all up in the kitchen because dad needs a smoke
Mom loves pills dad's married to dope, but his dad is a dealer so he carries them both
And Eric has a voice he avoids in his head
It annoys him, destroys him, inside when it says
"As you lie on your bed, you realize that you're dead
Because you seem to believe every lie that you're fed."
So Eric smokes cess because he hears that it helps
Disappear from the fear, but he's scared of himself
All he hears in his scalp is screaming and madness
Dies in his dreams, screams in his mattress
Relieving the tension, in need of attention
Because he's in suspension for leaving detention
He breathes, but the weed that he sees and be clenchin'
Now he's stuck with them and these evil intentions
Did I mention, they drive him mad?
His eyes are bags, because he's been getting high off gra**
He finds his dad, and catches him outside the pad
Inside a bag, and puts his a** inside a bag
Eric sighs and decides to laugh, Sean never was a dad, I'm alive at last
He put the body in the trash so that nobody found it
Then he walked away astounded, because he ain't grounded
[Verse 2: O]
Meet Dawn, she was married to Sean
Dawn doesn't know that her husband is gone
Dawn is a mom, but her child belongs
In a place where he won't be entitled to harm
There's a few things wrong up in that mind of his
But Dawn doesn't pay no mind when there's a line to sniff
She minds her biz', and then becomes blind as sh**
Too high to realize what's inside her kid
You see Dawn is a junkie, addicted to pills
Itchin' until her prescription is filled
But her fix couldn't fix how she wishes to feel
It's a b**h to conceal all the sh** that is real
On soap and she can't get clean, it's obscene
Imagine what her son's seein' this is some scene
Seventeen and he screams coming from dreams
And both the people that know him are nothing but fiends
So he walks in the door with a slouch
Knife in his hand Dawn falls off the couch
Screams out "Sean!" He said Sean's moving out
Eric shut the door chased Dawn all through the house
Dawn ran into her kids room and locked the door
She put the mirror right in front of it and got on the floor
He screams out "What, you don't trust me you who*e?!"
"What's the matter ma, you don't love me no more?!"
Voices are talking, controlling his life
Putting holes in the wall, still holding a knife
Screams out "Ma you don't know what it's like
To feel like you're dead but I'll show you tonight!"
Then he cuts out the lights, power is gone
Eric screams out "I'ma find you Dawn!"
You're locked in the room and it's all your fault
Now there's nowhere to go and there's no one to call
[Outro]
"Mom... Dad? I'm strange (strange, strange, strange)
Strange, strange, strange..
Strange, strange, strange...
