Текст песни 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
