lyrics

I walked into the living room
With no thought that I'd be hearing from you
You sat me down in the corner chair
And prepared me for what you would share

After a while of meaningless talk
Your voice grew stern but your expression soft
I knew that life was about to change
I grew anxious as I heard you say:

If you'd allow, I'd like to sit you down and speak some truth
There comes a time when you can't be so scared to break all the rules
You've lived your life afraid of everybody's thoughts toward you
You were a middle child
Not the perfect child

Remember all those times you turned down pleasure for your pride?
Every hit they took was just an attempt to stay alive
Oh, how you hated them as they let blood flow to their eyes
You didn't know better
That you were no better

Remember when you had a nervous breakdown after school?
All the honor, glory, power was awarded to you
You always thought that moment would've summed up all your worth
It didn't measure up
You didn't measure up

Remember how you gave your life up for your baby brother?
Gave him a step-by-step guide on how to be another
Self-projected, blessed savior of the modern culture
He wasn't meant to die
The death that you will die

Remember that time when you fought and took your dad aside
As if the clock was ticking worth and value off your life?
You said you couldn't wait to spread your wings and fly
You couldn't wait to go
Oh, what you didn't know
