How to Demolish a House
From the inside out
Looking back
I accept the fact
The biggest impact
I had being a Dad
Showing my son's
The Wrong path
Constantly passed out
On my path
Treating they mom
Like trash,
Taking them thru hell
An back
running from twelve
they calling me back
Didn't get far but I threw
away that sack
Everyday
Excuse after excuse
for the way that I act
Alcoholic relapse
Reflections make you recap
And you realize that
from you
Your whole family is detached
the new you look Like an act
Cause perhaps
To get back on track
You took too long
to get sober
Kids got older
They never saw you
with your composer
But one day
I'ma show ya
I'm different
From who I used to be
Cause Friday night
I used to be drunk
Passed out in a chair
Head clouded
smokin since
bout it
Bout it
don't doubt it
To be clear
I need
Air
and to be
Somewhere
disappear
But To be fair
Ill
Tell you why
I
shaved hair
An I suppose
I was a weirdo
With a scar
From my nose
To my ear lobe
And that's Before
the clothes
I choose
To wear, make u stare
If you assume
It's a costume
I know the change in me
occurred real soon
And I'm consumed
To live within some rules
To break the way
I was confused
From the truth
And one to tell you
Itll be rare
Ill ever ever ever...
come back in here
It reminds me of times
I shoulda done better
