Broken Home

We all want a place where we want to be safe Home We all want a place to go dodge life’s bullets Home We all wanted time to be with our parents Home We wanted a place where harm could not find us But....... Childhood of misery belonged to us how lucky Decades of trauma and we'll always be broken So much abuse future guaranteed murky Litany of offenses that left us soft spoken Broken home Is the only home we got Broken home living in fear was our lot Broken home step dad had another beer Broken home Same old story next year We all want a place where we want to be safe Home We all want a place to go dodge life’s bullets Home We all wanted time to be with our parents Home We wanted a place where harm could not find us But....... We've limped through our adult lyyves Mind is broken and we can hardly function Memories assaulting our broken minds Existence is continual self-destruction Broken home Is the only home we got Broken home Living in fear is our lot Broken home Stepdad had another beer Broken home Same old story next year We all want a place where we want to be safe Home We all want a place to go and dodge life’s bullets Home But That place never finds us all No matter how far we crawl A world full of pain and shame We were ruined by that game The past never is left behind Fate would never be so kind Broken home Is the only home we got Broken home Living in fear was our lot Broken home Stepdad had another beer Broken home Same old story next year
