I been hearing you

Is you hearing me?

Haven't heard enough for me

To forget the year 2013

[Verse 1]

Little blonde boy born to a tri-family

Grown up for my world view to be a ghost town patently

Fallen trees with no leaves left on the branches

Play outside for 10 minutes, leave with instant scratches

Had a sister, she left a couple years ago, I miss her

Had a mother with a job, barely saw her, wouldn't have wished her

Had a father losing battles with the druggy blisters

Always homе but I never saw him eithеr

A darkened drifter, always walking all alone

"I'm going to get some milk", the familiar postpone

My father figure growing up was my father's mom

She was into way more shit but was better at keeping calm

Extended family full of dropouts and druggies

Would rather call their parents cop-outs instead of having studies

Grew up in a world full of only bad models

That's why my kid times can't have rose-tinted goggles

I had to break the cycle cuz that shit was repeating

I taught my older cousin how to read when he was weeping

Got out of that dead town for a brighter future

Left no friends behind cuz my social skills weren't super

Cartoons and comics saved my life from being dull

Hearing my sister struggle was the first time I began to mull

Thrown out the house cuz she's caught smoking weed

Even though her wrists are clearly starting to bleed

In 2012, I met Mr. Pink and our captain

The first friends of mine who really got my head in action

As for 2013, I can't repeat to you what happened

Repressed or just forgotten? Can't tell, but memories are flattened

[Verse 2]

What was in 2013, I don't know

Whatever stuff I did has now been buried in the show

I can't remember the summer or school or if my grades shifted

If I made anything online, then what the hell was submitted?

It's not even like I had any major restrictions

It's basically as if in that year I had not existed

What friends did I have, what the hell was I predicting

What was I into and have those things persisted?

Memory is fuzzy, it's weird, what can I tell ya

One of my biggest fears is growing old having dementia

My last grandpa, his last hurrah was spent fading

Retirement homes are nothing but fucking degrading

A childhood hero of mine saw me as a stranger

I'd tell him old memories that I've had locked in a container

But nothing, not my name or my face, no remainder

A blank spot left to fill by a crippled and lost painter

[Verse 3]

Now 2014 and '15 are important

I made a lot of friends and my presence was more dormant

Picked up a stray dog that was nothing but a torment

My sister started spiraling out, her head a poor dent

A lot of my cousins started getting sentenced to jail

Memories of kid activities with them impaled

My pa now in his worse drunkened state, started to dilate

I'm an outsider to what felt like my sister being an inmate

Remaining cousin stayed for the summer to help the fire hydrate

But after a while, all these voices started making me irate

I started to feel like my dad did in Ohio

Tons of talking heads but the heat is punching the psycho

Thankfully my mom quit her job and helped me fly low

Cuz I'm sure soon I would've jumped into the fighting and died, so

And as for those friends earlier, I'ma say that it didn't stay

Fun at first but soon it was everyone wanting to slay

Fighting nonstop, still continues to this day

And soon enough, I met my first real love, oh god

I'll get into that in a bit, so for now that's all i have to say, sing it again
