Tourniquet - Dysfunctional Domicile lyrics

After school my stomach sinks

From the thought of just how much he drinks

Broken home broken dreams

Mom and Dad forsake the family thing

So I slither in up to my room alone

Shut the world outside and rot inside my headphones

Nothing matter to the wounded mind of a child

Who becomes a victim of the family home defiled

I've been there once before

Today the child is you

Sacred vows are torn in two

Then he drinks himself to sleep each night

And dreams of how it could have been

She stays away and hates the day

She'll ever have to see his face again

Good enough for them is

Good enough for me 'cause

I treat myself just the way that their vow does now

(Lead - Mendez)

Pain has passed and now I see that bitter roots

Can down the biggest tree

The broken home within my soul is buried now

Forgiving grace I know

Good enough for them ain't

Good enough for me 'cause

I don't treat myself

The same way their vow was now
