Dreaming Of

Watch me, “try” not to lose my temper
my bleeding face, drips less than my hot anger
free me; from this damn memory
once and for all I’d like to leave behind such tragedy

you’re pickin it up again the bottle and your fist
and I don’t really understand it; what has gotten you so pissed
and your comin after me with the knuckles on your hand
‘cuz mommy isn’t home and you “need to be a man”
but I think you’d better STOP cuz I’ve got some knuckles too
and I’m only 13 but I’m not as drunk as you

and Daddy; I’m only gonna say it one more time
you better back up or I’m committin my own crime…

Why can’t sleep; I feel I’m suffocating
and when I do dream, it only feeds my hating.
My mind is at war, with my emotions
One wants to forgive, One “can’t” forget

I have a vision of what life is supposed to be
but everytime I “try” to hold it – it keeps shattering

I have a vision of what life is supposed to be
but everytime I “try” to hold it – it keeps shattering

I want to let go
I want to be free
I want to love you
why don’t you love me?

Everytime I pick it up my visions start to shatter
but it’s already broken so it doesn’t even matter
No matter how hard I try to see a brighter day
these dirty, broken visions come and never go away

you’re pickin it up again the bottle and your fist
and I don’t really understand it; what has gotten you so pissed
and your comin after me with the knuckles on your hand
‘cuz mommy isn’t home and you “need to be a man”
but I think you’d better STOP cuz I’ve got some knuckles too
and I’m only 13 but I’m not as drunk as you

and Daddy; I’m only gonna say it one more time
you better back up or I’m committin my own crime…

Please don’t make me
your bleeding daddy
please stop fighting
take this knife from me

Now you’re dreaming
Now do you love me?
Now do you love me?
Now do you Love Meeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
