Double Fiction

from Mayday by The Robot's Guide to Living

lyrics

Our bond is our blood
But you two make it hard to claim
A life out of LA is one I would help you jump
At the chance to help you escape
But the ink on your skin
Represents a family you would rather die with
Don't make your daughters feel they mean less to you
Than the hood that you claim

Little sister
I see through the evil you try to hide behind
Though your horns may be bare
To me you're a light that keeps me safe at night
Two years to be locked up
Is better than having to find a place where you would
Be laid to rest
No matter how hard you try,
Little sis you'll be just fine

Big sis,
You were supposed to be someone I looked up to
With everything you do being someone else's fault
How could we blame you?
All your choices seems so much better when inebriated
Carry on as you do
Live your life like you have no one to answer to

It's all about to catch up
Drafted four children into your war of
Meaningless apologies and excuses that sum up who you've become
I know you're somewhere in there
buried beneath all the pain and hurt
I brought my shovel, I'll dig all day and night
No matter how deep, I'll try and rescue you

And any chains
That are holding you back
Are fitted for you
Addicted to this life of escalating addictions

First step: start to grind your teeth
Second step: you feel crushed under broken dream
Third step: start to realize whatever substance you worship doesn't define you

Pulling strength from a bottle
Panic at thoughts of making amends
If the good word can't save you
Abandon the children make our parents repent
All the flesh that they gave you marked you a sinner
A convenient alibi
Embellished and complacent
If God can't judge, who are your kids to even try?

Addicted to this life of escalating addictions
