A War Within
Matriarch
Fueled by power, fueled by rage
Blind by booze, alcoholic haze
The world revolved around no one but you
Outlook on life is a depressing view

Why you bitch and fight?
Just know that child gets caught in the middle
Love and sacrifice
Is an idea plagued by the man with the fiddle
You're starting to buy into your own damn lies
You made your choice and your choice isn't right

Your glass half empty, ours half full
Kids grow older and you lose control
Who's to blame nobody else but you
Get off the phone twelve steps to truth

Why you bitch and fight?
Just know that child gets caught in the middle
Love and sacrifice
Is an idea plagued by the man with the fiddle
You're starting to buy into your own damn lies
You made your choice and your choice isn't right

You made me want to hurt myself
Give me one good reason to live
Abandoned me when I needed help
Still all is forgiven

Just stay away
Just stay away

You know what Michael?
You know what?
You know what Michael?
You know what?
I'm done

Why you bitch and fight?
Just know that child gets caught in the middle
Love and sacrifice
Is an idea plagued by the man with the fiddle
You're starting to buy into your own damn lies
You made your choice and your choice isn't right

These pills will help correct myself
I was just a little kid
The lies you spread about your health
Still all is forgiven

Just stay away
Just stay away
