You are not alone my brother I have always been with you Have we eaten something deadly Something poisonous consumed I just longed for days that were simple When books still held the golden keys But I know that to be an illusion Know that they were never that way I'm not a God Damn machine man I've got two arms and two eyes Guess this is what we lost sight of Swallowed it with no reply Will what this world's made of me Bring only venting of hatred on my family Fruit of my labor the desecration of everything sacred to me Victims of this great temper The pent up frustration living has buried in me Brought down upon the ones that I love And those who I sing these songs for I just long for days that were simple When books still held the golden keys But I know that to be an illusion Know that they were never that way It's been years since I screamed out at the sky Like my father, A choice to make the decision was mine Every son can blame this I'm not that man, drop it repeat It's not what happens it's how it's dealt with Your not that man drop it repeat There's only so much that's in our hands The casing for this powerful spirit Tires but is strengthened by what's been put before Everyone must spend their due time Feeling sick, so sick inside There's a certain sense of violence In the way a family takes place
