Play the sweet lullaby in my head
The baby next door, I hear his screams
The mother is soiled, splayed upon the bed
Father numb with drugs, crushing dreams
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
If you don't change it today
Tomorrow will be worse than yesterday
Play the vision again, as my heart stops
The boy next door, I see his scars
The mother is afraid, won't call the cops
Father's always drunk, taking off in his car
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
If you always complain you're weak
Then get the courage to open your mouth and speak
Play the song, rewind it, reverse
The man next door, my heart broken when he died
The mother is in pain, remembering birth
Father's ashamed that his son commited suicide
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
He told me not to resort to death
Wasted upon me his final breath
