Inspired by Heather

lyrics

Just because your mother hated you
Don’t mean ya gotta hate yourself
Just because your brother hated you
Don’t mean ya gotta hate yourself
Just because your father hated you
Don’t mean ya gotta hate yourself

You’re wonderful inside without their fucking stupid lies

Your parents died--Oh long before the day you were conceived.
Been better off without them but they all refused to leave
They offered you a coffin and they told you to get in
(You were) just a little boy or girl but you can’t let them win

CHORUS

So decorate that coffin like it was a discoteque
And build a home out of the wood with Love and Self respect.
And let the dead bury the dead Like Zarathustra said
And leave the creeps behind who tried to kill your loving mind

CHORUS

So leave that fucking home today
Far from that fucking hated place
That some fat douchebag called a home
Where you cried, frightened all alone
Where you felt like a worthless shit
Home’s not the fucking word for it
You didn’t get what you deserved
Home was abusive and absurd

CHORUS

Now that you know your life’s at stake
You need to get fully awake
And rip the scales off from your eyes
Refuse their bitter hopeless lies

Find friends who will love you for you
And choose the family that you choose
Somewhere to share all of your pain
And heal and be reborn again
And maybe you will change your name
Everything’s changed but it’s the same

CHORUS

There’s power in irrational
In chaos every wish fulfilled
It’s easy and impossible
The cup is never ending full

I know who I am And I’m not them
Or what they thought they saw in me
Or didn’t see what I could be
Or saw it but did not believe
INCREDIBLE
Is what we’ve achieved

CHORUS
