Everclear - Culver Palms Lyrics
I heard the truth about youAnd it doesnt really read at allLike the whipping stick you raised me withA scared woman in a private hellHushed voice like electric bellStrange talk about edgar cayceAnd the long lame walk of the dark 70sI heard the truth about youYeah, youMama they woke me upI was deep in an idiot sleepI was just 8 years oldI heard big words with a horrible soundMama they called my schoolTo tell me my mother had a nervous breakdownI wish I believed like you doYeah, youIn the myth of a merciful godIn the myth of a heaven or hellI hear the voices you hear sometimesSometimes it gets so much I feel like letting goSometimes it gets so hard I feel like letting it goSometimes it gets so goddamn hardI ran away, went looking for youBack to culver city and the old neighborhoodNeed to know if you were really goneNeed to know if you were gone for goodI ran through the projects at nightHide in the dark from my friends in the lightHide from my brother-in-lawHide from the things hed sayHe said you werent losing your mindHe said you just needed a restHe said youd be coming home soonHe said the doctors there would know whats bestHe said that maybe I could go live with them for a whileI heard the truth about youI know the truth about you...Yeah, they woke me upI was just 8 years oldSometimes it gets so hard I feel like letting it goSometimes it gets so hard I feel like letting it all go...
