I left home and I left you behind
With your mind
17 and looking for somewhere new
Never looking at you
I never thought about what could change
That your mind could rearrange
That the phantoms of your past could rise
And dominate the lonesome dark, of your life
Now you rarely feel the outside air
The freezers broken, part of the roofs no longer there
And you say you are always afraid
There’s bugs in the phone, people trying to lay you away
CHORUS
How much do we give to, those who need us
How much do we keep for ourselves
What should I sacrifice to, try and free you
From the hell your mind has made
You live all alone in our family home
Your sons deserted you, left you with the cats and crows
There was nothing to mitigate the taint of your mind
From seeping into every part of your surrounds
When we try to help you, you just turn us away
You have to fight to defend your right, to decay
Now there’s nothing that I can say
You can’t see through the dreams that you had to create
