Birds of Prey - Front Lawn Filled with Family Members lyrics
I was sent away as a teenager when my love for my sister had been discovered Time nor space will allow me to forget that connection, in my dreams I hear her calling I don't expect anyone to understand, but I don't care, you ain't gettin gin my way The heart wants what it wants, and I fear Juess is getting on with other boys My collect calls are declined on the holidays Doped up on Xanax bars I'd b emade to sleep for days, but that shit is just a speed bump Leave well enough alone, that's what I've learned in the sessions But Medicare funded mental health care is just what you'd expect When I returned home I found that the whole family had moved All I was told was they went out of state I'm in my thirties now and my pilgrimage has just begun To find my sister love and the one's who'd done me wrong God was o my side and he helped me jump a train to Virginia wher emy grandparents had been from I was greeted at the doorway and asked how I had found them Behind my father mammoth frame I saw my mother weeping Out of guilt they told me I could stay but just one night I accepted the offer and accepted the fact that my family had disowned me I tried to bring it up casually about her whereabouts and my father began to scream His spit hit me as he blamed me for her suicide They claimed I had raped her My life of yearing was to be for naught, I couldn't get past this I grabbed my things and marched to the door, defiant in the knolwdge This time I had not been in the wrong She must have missed me too; it helps me sleep at night Maybe I misread the signals all these moons ago Either way, nobody's going to see tomorow, with my pick and my spade I'll nver rely on anyone to help with the family grave |
