Dysfunctional Domicile Lyrics - Tourniquet

After school my stomach sinks 

From the thought of just how much he drinks 

Broken home broken dreams 

Mom and Dad forsake the family thing 

So I slither in up to my room alone 

Shut the world outside and rot inside my headphones 

Nothing matters to the wounded mind of a child 

Who becomes a victim of the family home defiled 

I've been there once before 

Today the child is you 

Sacred vows are torn in two 

Then he drinks himself to sleep each night 

And dreams of how it could have been 

She stays away and hates the day 

She'll ever have to see his face again 

Good enough for them is 

Good enough for me 'cause 

I treat myself just the way that their vow does now 

Pain has past and now I see that the bitter roots 

Can down the biggest tree 

The broken home within my soul is buried now 

Forgiving grace I know 

Good enough for them is 

Good enough for me 'cause 

I don't tread myself 

The same way their vow was now
