I was born with a penchant for sadness Now I can finally speak of the madness Oh you took from me my safety net Killed my hopes and made me your pet I'm closer than before I believed it could only get better But your ignorance loomed like the weather Oh you made breathing a nasty chore I ate your malice for ten years more I was crushed in the vice of your sickness Took the blows for your every weakness Oh you forbade me to love my mom Daddy begged me to keep things calm Closer, I'm closer, much closer than before All the fears of the babes lay upon me Every word volunteered for my army Oh sticks and stones thrown Shattered my bones I glued them back with rhythms and tones Reaching out for the ones who could save me Nervous pats on the head's all they gave me Oh where were you all when I was jailed I cried and pleaded, to no avail Closer, getting closer than I was before I'm closer, Much closer than before I stand before the fork I look from left to right I wait in partial pause And choose to use my sight I'm ready on my mark My heart is beating drums I make a run for it I'm getting closer, I'm closer, much closer than before Closer, I'm closer, much closer than beforeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
