Second Family Portrait Lyrics - The Bastards - Radical Face

My life started slow 

In a town of idle minds 

Where daydreams filled the space 

Between our simple dramas 

And my mom was strange 

But she'd always liked to sew 

And my clothes smelled like 

The room I was born in 

And my dad calm 

Never used two words when one'd do 

And my brother's hands were mischief bent 

With no will to stop 'em 

And on the whole 

We lived simply and day-to-day 

Our fears were trivial 

They always died with every sunset

When I was twelve 

My affliction came to light 

And I was told that some things I heard 

Were only there in my head 

But I couldn't tell 

Which were real and which were now 

And the question loomed over all I did 

Whether I could trust it 

And I guess over time 

It became too much 

And I was sent away 

At my mom's behest 

'cause she'd grown to fear me 

Now I live up north 

In the house for the broken heads 

And my father comes and visits me 

Whenever he can afford it 

Photos 

Sometimes at night 

When the voices quiet down 

I find I hope that I am missed 

And that they haven't forgot me
