You - Everclear

All the scars on my body and soul

All the trouble I’ve known

All the evil things that I say and do

All comes back to

A little boy, back when life was new to me

Hiding in my room, waiting for my mom to leave

I learned to lie, to save her from the truth

I was raped when I was eight years old

On a sunny afternoon

I fall back to the black and white of

Here and now I need to calm down

I think I need to calm down

I’m on my old street

A past that is so hard for me

Looking for a place

That I really do not ever want to see

All the scars on my body and soul

All the trouble I’ve known

All the evil things I say and do

It all brings me closer to… you

The house is empty as I walk inside

I don’t want to be here

I want to stay in denial

I see my demons smiling in the gloom

I have to face this thing

Or I will never leave this room I… see…me

Playing with the older boys

In a house where my mom had told me not to go

They started hurting me

And laughing as they held me down

They broke me as I screamed

Inside the violence and the awful sound

All the scars on my body and soul

All the trouble I have ever known

All the fucked up things I say and do

All brings me closer to you

To you

I am screaming at the mirror

Looking in the eyes of you.

Yeah you

I give my joy, all my shame

All the credit and the blame

To you

Now I know why I’m addicted to pain

Yeah I know I am addicted to everything

Now I know what I have to do

I have to kill the monsters for you.

For you

I will forgive those damaged boys

That did this awful thing to you.

To you

I have to fix this broken heart

I need to be just like a father to you.

To you

I have to fix this broken heart

I will always be a safe place for you.

For you

I will always be your champion

I will always kill the monsters for you.

For you

I give my joy all my shame

All the credit and the blame.

To you

Twisted, broken, angry, and free

I am twisted, broken, angry and free

Twisted, broken, angry and free
