Hyper Trophy - Citizen

Father, father, tell me where have you been? It's been hell not having you here I've been missing you so bad And you don't seem to care When I go to sleep at night, you're not there When I go to sleep at night, do you care? Do you even miss us? Your bottle's your mistress I need to know, I need to know Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake? 'Cause I'm trying to deal with the pain I don't understand this, is this how it ends? I will try to understand (Father, father, father) Father, father, tell me where are you now? It's been hell not having you The last thing I heard, you were fed up, you're skipping town With no note telling where When I go to sleep at night, you're not there When I go to sleep at night, do you care? I need to know, I need to know Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake? 'Cause I'm trying to deal with the pain I don't understand this, is this how it ends? Why are you running away? I don't understand this, is this how it ends? Why are you running away? Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Spent seven years wishing that you'd drop a line But I carry the thought along with you in my mind But is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Family! Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake? 'Cause I'm trying to deal with the pain I don't understand this, is this how it ends? Why are you running away? I don't understand this, is this how it ends? Why are you running away? Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family

Forced to get used to a habit Stab the face of who you think you are I'll embed my world in cement I shook the hand of all my wants Steal my words "Dive into my sun. I was once your mother, but I have come undone." I'm conditioned well A sliver from my lovers, something I hold on to Push your nightmare into my brain Deface my youth for what you want I'll throw my bricks into fragile cells Suppress the ones you love to overcome Lie to me Damage me Lie to me Damage me Welcome to my purge A swinging cordage pulls me into a sea of ruin Pick apart my world Strip me from my weakness Shine a light on my substance

We are moving slow Deep into the night, hereafter falls I am keeping close, close to nothing Let the mallet swing through the fire I see your face staring back at me You know I turn to you for self abusing All of our ears to the floorboards My eyes are falling everywhere I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our home? We are moving slow I am a pawn in every step you take Illusion wraps me up, keeps me guessing You put my back to the wall Somehow that wasn't enough I'm the result of what you never were All of our ears to the floorboards My eyes are falling everywhere I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our All of our ears to the floorboards There's nothing left for anyone I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our home? If I'm in pain then you, you must be too Are we on our way back down? Into delusion we will go to stare at a glimpse of hope Make me more assured, to clean my wounds My flickering thoughts; all wrong Into delusion we will go to stare at a glimpse of hope You put my back to the wall Somehow that wasn't enough I'm the result of what you never were All of our ears to the floorboards My eyes are falling everywhere I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our All of our ears to the floorboards We peel them back forevermore I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our home?

We both fell asleep on the floor, then I left you there You spent so many days alone, so I'll kill myself to make things fair See I just hated being tired cause I can't seem to sleep anymore You and all your friends were all right about me all along Do you sleep anymore? And I would love to be patient, but I just won't wait I'm getting sick and tired of the smile that I fake every day Now I would love to speak my mind, but I can't think straight And I would love to feel alive again, but I'm not used to change Do you sleep anymore? And if it make's you feel better, I'll be on my way And all this time I sit around and think, but there's nothing to say And if you want to feel better, I'll stay out of your way And I would love to feel alive again, but I guess that can wait Do you sleep anymore? Do you sleep anymore? Do you sleep anymore? Do you sleep anymore?
