Eyedea, Abilities - Read Wiped In Blue lyrics

I never knew my mom
Once I was born she was dead
She never wanted me at least
That's what my dad said
He said she was polluted, ignorant
Uncivilized
And that was roughly the outline of
What he beat into my head
I grew up in a house with
More rooms than I could count no siblings
Just strangers always moving in and out
My dad hated all our neighbors
Had they stepped on his
Profit's they'd be finished
Cause getting his is what he was about
Ever since his birth
He was a nuisance to humanity
I wish he died instead of mom
Maybe then I'd love family
But, I'd smile at pops
Concealing that feeling of, "I hate you"


Each day he'd wear the same three colors
With the same suit
And mother would come to me when I
Would close my eyes and sink
To the thought of her beautiful voice
And the lullabies she'd sing
'Til I was sound asleep then I'd
Awake and she'd be gone
My whole life, my soul echoed her songs
I guess the grass is always
Greener on the other side
And intangible experience structures
One leviathan from the Koran to leprechauns
Since when did America fall in
Between Lebanon and Ireland?

Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot
Angel in my father's eyes
Only cause it helps him rot
Freedom screams through a sky
Wounded by a culture shock
Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot

His philosophy was to be up
You gotta push someone down
That was all I knew cause that
Was all I was around
I found the flaws in his methods
From the cause in myself
Father Diablo: Only an uncle
To every one else he taught me how to talk
Without looking in your eyes
Gave me a nine to five
Made me ignore the lullabies
A puddle of the dried
Tears shade me colorless
And categorize me as a baby failing to
Realize how far away his mother is
Our relationship hovered with strength
Even though it's invisible
Hard to quit hearing her
Poetry piercing emotions leak
With the notes she hit's I float
Defying gravitation
The only mom I have is in
My imagination so it goes

Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot
Angel in my father's eyes
Only cause it helps him rot
Freedom screams through a sky
Wounded by a culture shock
Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot
Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot
One day daddy's gonna die
Choking on the gun he bought
One day daddy's gonna die
Choking on the gun he bought
One day daddy's gonna die
One day daddy's gonna die

And when that day comes I
Shall return to my mother
And we'll walk hand in
Hand straight to heaven
And when the clouds part
I'll tell her that I love her
And she'll accept with an
Open heart no question unless dad was right
And she really was a monster
Maybe her silhouette reflects the hell
Of his own childhood
Maybe she's so insane, no one cared to help
But, if nothing else on this
Earth could mend her spirit
I bet my smile could
The volumes of her songs decreased
The older that I grew
Daddy became my only influence of attitude
Now I'm robotically imperialistic
And careless of people
A trait inherited by my
Parent's omnipotent ego
His symbol's the eagle
But his child isn't free
You'll see no sign around my neck
Saying I'm proud to be me i'm not grown up
The concept of adulthood is dead
He left scars on my back
When my notebook was read
I guess the grass is always
Greener on the other side
And intangible experience structures
One leviathan from the Koran to leprechauns
Since when did America fall in
Between Lebanon and Ireland?

Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot
Angel in my father's eyes
Only cause it helps him rot
Freedom screams through a sky
Wounded by a culture shock
Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot
Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot
Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot
Mamma was a lullaby, Daddy was a melting pot
Daddy don't think that I forgot
