lyrics

it came to me
in a dream about my mother in the 90's.
her air breathed peace and copaceta.
she did not say a thing
only believed in me.

then my father,
he tried to teach me about the world around
without falling in the footsteps
of those who came before him
he tried to be his own man

that is when i fell down before it
my thought of them was clouded
by my own self-image

when he left her,
she cried and cried until her hair turned all grey
it was normal growing up this way
she did not say a damn thing
about this cycling.

that is when i woke up
from this dream
my thought of them was clouded
by my own suffering
