Eyedea & Abilities - Read Wiped In Blue Lyrics
* send corrections to the typistI never knew my mom, once I was born she was deadShe never wanted me. At least that's what my dad saidHe said she was polluted, ignorant, uncivilizedAnd that was roughly the outline of what he beat into my headI grew up in a house with more rooms than I could countNo siblings, just strangers always moving in and outMy dad hated all our neighborsHad they stepped on his prophets they'd be finished'Cause getting his is what he was aboutEver since his birth, he was a nuisance to humanityI wish he died instead of mom. Maybe then I'd love familyBut I'd smile at pops, concealing that feeling of, "I hate you."Each day he'd wear the same three colors, with the same suitAnd mother would come to me when I would close my eyes and sinkTo the thought of her beautiful voice, and the lullabies she'd sing'Til I was sound asleep. Then I'd awake and she'd be goneMy whole life, my soul echoed her songsI guess the grass is always greener on the other sideAnd intangible experience structures one leviathanFrom the Koran to leprechaunsSince when did America fall in between Lebanon and Ireland?[chorus x 2]Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting potAngel in my father's eyes, only 'cause it helps him rotFreedom screams through a sky, wounded by a culture shockMamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting potHis philosophy was to be up, you gotta push someone downThat was all I knew 'cause that was all I was aroundI found the flaws in his methods from the cause in myselfFather Diablo: Only an uncle to every one elseHe taught me how to talk without looking in your eyesGave me a nine to five, made me ignore the lullabiesA puddle of the dried tears shade me colorlessAnd categorize me as a baby failing to realize how far away his mother isOur relationship hovered with strength, even though it's invisibleHard to quit hearing her poetry. Piercing emotions leakWith the notes she hits I float, defying gravitationThe only mom I have is in my imagination. So it goes[chorus]One day daddy's gonna die, choking on the gun he boughtAnd when that day comes I shall return to my motherAnd we'll walk hand in hand straight to heavenAnd when the clouds part, I'll tell her that I love herAnd she'll accept with an open heart. No questionUnless dad was right, and she really was a monsterMaybe her silhouette reflects the hell of his own childhoodMaybe she's so insane, no one cared to helpBut if nothing else on this earth could mend her spirit, I bet my smile couldThe volumes of her songs decreased the older that I grewDaddy became my only influence of attitudeNow I'm robotically imperialistic, and careless of peopleA trait inherited by my parent's omnipotent egoHis symbol's the eagle, but his child isn't freeYou'll see no sign around my neck saying I'm proud to be meI'm not grown up, the concept of adulthood is deadHe left scars on my back when my notebook was readI guess the grass is always greener on the other sideAnd intangible experience structures one leviathanFrom the Koran to leprechaunsSince when did America fall in between Lebanon and Ireland?[chorus]Daddy don't think that I forgot
