After The Storm

All my loved ones around me, falling to pieces

They find out I'm hurting and say, turn to Jesus

But I see them at night drink their problems away

They can dish out words but can't live what they say

All these hypocrits, sayin' one thing and doin' another

Is that why my dad said, don't leave him, and I only know my mother

My mom said never drink while she had one in her hand

She's drownin' in her sorrows and can't find land

She can't see that it's not just hurtin' herself

It's affectin' both of our health

She's gettin' drunk every night and her cigarrets are gettin' lit

Then when she gets home I'm the one gettin' hit

She tells me I'm worthless and I just brush it off

I hear a voice sayin' she cares, but it's very soft

It's the only thing that keeps me goin'

Only thing that keeps me alive

Some people don't get food, some don't get sleep

Well I don't get love so I'm love deprived

It's the reason that every night I cry myself to sleep

And I weep and weep and I just keep goin' weak

 

 

Cuz something good has to come after the storm

After all the drugs, the beer, the abuse, and porn

There has to be a way to find freedom from this

I just hope something, someone, hears my wish

 

 

Every night a city, every night a different chick

I got money and fame but I don't want this

Taking drugs to be famous and stay on the top

Always feelin' down so I take those pills and pop

I got all the money in the world and they say my fame means something

But right now all this don't mean nothing

I wanna go back to bein' an average guy

Where I can go to an event wihtou havin' to get high

Without happiness and love, what's the point in this?

I feel like satan leaned in and gave me a deadly kiss

Every day packin' and goin' somewhere else

My body's in bad shape and I always need help

With the liftin' and toatin' everything around

And with all the drugs

The old man inside me is nowhere to be found

 

 

Cuz something good has to come after the storm

After all the drugs, the beer, the abuse, and porn

There has to be a way to find freedom from this

I just hope something, someone, hears my wish
