“FAMILY TIES”

WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE TIMES THAT WE HAD TOGETHER,

TURN ON THE T.V. IN TIME TO CATCH THE WEATHER, BUT NO CRIME AND HATE JUST MIX TOGETHER,

RAINY DAYS KEEP COMIN’ BUT TIMES DON’T GET BETTER,

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I COULD SMILE AND BE SO CUTE,

BUT NOW I’M LIKE A T.V. BEING PUT ON MUTE,

NO ONE WANTS TO LISTEN TO ME – SUCH A HURT CHILD,

WONDERING WHATS KEEPING ME FROM GOING BUCK WILD,

NEVER THOUGHT ID BE THE ONE TO BE PUT OUT OF SIGHT,

MEANWHILE MY FAMILY IS IN A VIOLENT FIGHT,

 THERE’S NOTHING MUCH WORSE THAN LOSING TRUST AND CONFIDENCE,

PUTTING WHO YOU LOVE ON THE LINE JUST DOESN’T MAKE SENSE,

 I GET CHANCES AFTER SCHOOL TO REVIEW MY THOUGHTS AND THINK,

BUT AGAIN LATE AT NIGHT I FIND MYSELF NOT ABLE TO SLEEP,

TOSSIN’ AND TURNIN’ AS MY HEART PUMPS AND ACHES INSIDE,

THANK GOD FEELINGS ARE KEPT IN CAUSE THESE FEELINGS I MUST HIDE,

USED TO BE SO MUCH LOVE, BUT NOW ITS ALL GONE,

OH LORD CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE THINGS WENT SO WRONG?

MY SIGHT SEEMS TO BE FOREVER BLURRY AND SHADY,

I GUESS THAT’S WHY MY VISIONS ON LIFE ARE SO HAZY.
