Imagine A white house All concrete Not brick Concrete Dreary It looks like chalk A broken home Literally There are cracks in the concrete Inside the house is dim You feel like you’re trapped there Like there’s no escape Like you’ll die there But every once in a while The light From outside seeps through the cracks And gives you hope That’s where I was raised These four walls feel like a padded cell I’m all alone now, no one to ask for help Wanna go home now, I’m mad as hell They just got the phone call, my dad’s in jail They don’t have to tell me it’s a DUI I’m just a kid, but I can read between the lines My old man’s an alcoholic, I can see the signs They tell me this is where I have to sleep tonight No, I wanna go home. “But you are home” I guess this is home until tomorrow But if tomorrow never comes, will they feel sorrow? It’s an honest question. I lost direction I put the knife up to my wrist but upon reflection I realized this isn’t how I wanna exit You can see the scars still if you look close Guess it’s a hard pill, but I took both I can see the light through the cracks in the concrete I can see the sun through this hole in the wall In the wintertime, I hope the snow doesn’t fall ‘Cause we don’t have heat if the stove isn’t on But I can see the light through the cracks in the concrete I can see the sun through this hole in the wall It gives me hope when I’m supposed to be strong It lets me know I’ll find a home and belong These four walls feel like they’re cavin’ in It doesn’t help at all that they’re paper thin I can hear every word that you say to him His voice is raised, better pray he never raised his fist I lock my door and I play pretend Turn the music up until it’s safe again I wrote a couple songs, tryin’ to make it big But I just got picked on for my pasty skin I wanna tell him f*ck you but I’m too young to Even though I want to, no one to talk to Everyone is gone and they don’t know what I’ve gone through But I know they went through worse than me I get so mad that it hurts to breathe I spent my whole life trying to search for peace But growing up all I heard was screams And I thought I’d get hurt if I turned the cheek, but I can see the light through the cracks in the concrete I can see the sun through this hole in the wall In the wintertime, I hope the snow doesn’t fall ‘Cause we don’t have heat if the stove isn’t on But I can see the light through the cracks in the concrete I can see the sun through this hole in the wall It gives me hope when I’m supposed to be strong It lets me know I’ll find a home and belong These four walls feel like they’re closin’ in Stuck between despair and hopelessness No one seems to care or notice it I don’t think I can bare to shoulder this Weight or cope with it. It’s hard to hide denial Home is where the heart is, by a mile Even through the hardship, I try to smile I’ve been livin’ in the darkness for quite a while But I can see the light through the cracks I can see the lies from the past I could see my life as it flashed Right before my eyes as I gasped and I tried not to crash 125 on the dash. I’ma close my eyes and relax, no seat belt I’ma fly till the wax on my wings melt But the light through the cracks, I can see well I can see the light through the cracks in the windshield I can see the sky through this hole in the door In the meantime, I hope my soul isn’t torn ‘Cause you can’t have peace if your soul is at war But I can see the light through the cracks in the windshield I can see the sky through this hole in the door It lets me know that there’s supposed to be more It helps me grow like a rose full of thorns
