After school my stomach sinks From the thought of just how much he drinks Broken home broken dreams Mom and Dad forsake the family thing So I slither in up to my room alone Shut the world outside and rot inside my headphones Nothing matters to the wounded mind of a child Who becomes a victim of the family home defiled I've been there once before Today the child is you Sacred vows are torn in two Then he drinks himself to sleep each night And dreams of how it could have been She stays away and hates the day She'll ever have to see his face again Good enough for them is Good enough for me 'cause I treat myself just the way that their vow does now Nothing matters to the wounded mind of a child Who becomes a victim of the family home defiled I've been there once before Today the child is you Sacred vows are torn in two The pain has past and now I see that the bitter roots Can down the biggest tree The broken home within my soul is buried now Forgiving grace I know Good enough for them is Good enough for me 'cause I don't treat myself The same way their vow was now... 'Caus that ain't good enough for me...
After school my stomach sinks
From the thought of just how much he drinks
Broken home broken dreams
Mom and Dad forsake the family thing
So I slither in up to my room alone
Shut the world outside and rot inside my headphones
Nothing matters to the wounded mind of a child
Who becomes a victim of the family home defiled
I've been there once before
Today the child is you
Sacred vows are torn in two
Then he drinks himself to sleep each night
And dreams of how it could have been
She stays away and hates the day
She'll ever have to see his face again
Good enough for them is
Good enough for me 'cause
I treat myself just the way that their vow does now
Nothing matters to the wounded mind of a child
Who becomes a victim of the family home defiled
I've been there once before
Today the child is you
Sacred vows are torn in two
The pain has past and now I see that the bitter roots
Can down the biggest tree
The broken home within my soul is buried now
Forgiving grace I know
Good enough for them is
Good enough for me 'cause
I don't treat myself
The same way their vow was now...
'Caus that ain't good enough for me...
Ted lives on Forever in his songs
Lyrically and musically, still such a fantastic album for these days. Glad you're still around!
Why would it not be? The concept of aging does not apply to art.
Well, not now that Ted is gone
Great Song!!!!!
he always be remenber one of the best 🦾
Nobody could do this but Tourniquet !! And everyone stole their sound ! 😞
Very good album, but looks like Megadeth band! :)
They were basically the christian Megadeth.
@@UpIrons777 They weren't the "Christian" version of anything. I'm a fan of both bands and prefer early Tourniquet any day of the week.
Nope. They were not nothing alike.
