Lyrics Custody - Wherestoday

Is it revealing?
The smiling portrait of a long bygone nuclear family
More like a ticking time bomb, of course
A casualty was caught among the blast
Why bother revisiting the past?
It's a different story behind slammed doors

And here's the thing
He beat so much sense into her she end up leaving
If only that was all
Double the home, more battleground
Unknown hounds adding in the background
Just their names make my skin crawl

Why was I not worth fighting for?
They've all yet to say
Why was I not worth fighting for?

Now I've got full custody
Over this child, broken
From this life, stolen
I've got full custody
Over this child, broken
From this life, stolen

Isn't it telling
That all the doors in my childhood homes had trouble closing?
I was never safe behind these walls
And as my stepdad barges in with rage
Will he hit me or is it a bluff?
I should know resisting ends in brawl

Oh, but I'll keep yelling
No kid at all should be finding it vital to keep a knife near
Underneath the shards of innocence gone
And as I hear my mother plead his case
I believe her, he had it rough
As if it's a reason to pass it on

So taking all of this into account, I wonder
If both of them were ever meant to be a father
My late grandpa was a better one, but I guess he'll never know
For years of thinking I earned all amount, go figure
Of waiting for the day that I could point a finger
Help was just a call away, the line went dead long ago

She knows what it's like on the receiving end
But did none for her son, was it due to my birth sex?
I watched her bend and shapeshift for every boyfriend
She keeps bragging 'bout her savior complex

So why was I not worth fighting for?
Why would I be worth fighting for?

Well I've got full custody
Over this child, broken
From this life, stolen
We survive slow and steady
Struggles unspoken
Hum this strife, solemn

Now I've got full custody
Over this child, broken
From this life, stolen
We survive slow and steady
Struggles unspoken
Hum this strife, Sovereign

I want to make, make things right
Last thing I want's to make you cry
I want to make, make things right
Last thing I want's to make you cry
I want to make, make things right
Last thing I want's to make you cry
I want to make, make things right
Last thing I want's to make you cry
I want to make, make things right
Last thing I want's to make you cry.
