Alive - Oncue

Why’s it 2 o’clock in the morning

Outside all I hear is your car starting

The dogs barking, thinking the same as me

Why you up at this hour?

Why you gotta leave?

Yesterday I found baking soda in your trunk

Tellin' me it was there to take away all the skunk

All the mildew and mold

You lie like Phil do

You hold your stash so you can cut down your coke

Eleven years old, oh I was so young

Never did know, damn I was so dumb

Is this hereditary?

For me to fail again

Walk around my own house living with a alien

I swear, this ain’t my fathers face, nah it ain’t his skin

What type of fuckin' place is this to raise a kid up in?

Tryin' get through, all the shit I’ve been

All I know, me and Momma just try live again

Haley, we made it out alive

Don’t tell me, we bout to lose the fight

Just one more, oh, one more night

We made it out, we made it out this mother fucker alive

I swear when you left a part of me died

All those nights with Mom, watching her cry

Havin' a hard time drying my own eyes

Fightin' to wake up every day tryin' to keep it all inside

You should have saw her, she so weak back then

I thought you were dead, we didn’t speak back then

Thrown us both away for a motel and a crack pipe

It was probably all so perfect in a past life

My songs were the only thing to make me act right

Grammys probably so proud, I chose my path right

All those letters you wrote mom when you black out

Picking me up from sport games all cracked out

So lost that, I needed a signal

Thinkin' bout all the shit, me and Mom been through

Crack these jokers windows thinking it would get you

I’m sorry if it hurts, this the only thing I vent through

Haley, we made it out alive

Don’t tell me, we bout to lose the fight

Just one more, oh, one more night

We made it out, we made it out this mother fucker alive

I know you take back, the act going on, blackmailin' Mom

I know you give back, the insurance money, admit you were wrong

What if you had to live with the fact I chose the same path as you

Smoking, poppin' pills, dropping out of school

I forgive, I definitely don’t forget

& I ain’t done healing, am I suppose to yet?

Sorry I write these fuckin' records where I bash you

But you made your bed and sometimes see I have to

Medicate myself, man of the house

Since you and Phil left, I designate myself

Yeah Mommy I fuckin' love you

No one gun' hurt you no more, angels above you

Dad I forgive you, I pray you remain clean

I’m just glad you’re alive to see me live out this dream

Haley, we made it out alive

Don’t tell me, we bout to lose the fight

Just one more, oh, one more night

We made it out, we made it out this mother fucker alive
