I've got the same relationship that my old man had with his
Trying to break out of this holding pattern, but something's got us gripped
Criticize me to greatness, telling me that I'm worthless
I was already 50 yards back, now I got his curses
It's a shouting match, and here we go again
You do nothing with your life, why don't you try again
If I was you, I'd try harder, I'd be burning the midnight oil
He's tipped the scales, reached my limit, he's got me like a spring, coiled
It's on now, we getting ready, it's about to come to blows
I'm done, I through with this, I'm packing up my clothes
Get out of this house, you're not my son, and you're dead to me
He brought me in, stabbed me in the back, now twist it please
I am broken (because of you)  
I’m broken, broken, you broke me and my old man
Drag us into the dark
All I have left is pain, I’m broken.
ye ye ye ye ye ye I’m broken.
Put the gun in my pants, my heart beating out of my chest
A mile a minute, but time's slowed down to a rest
Bullets of sweat, pouring down from my face
Almost reached the counter, and now picking up the pace
know I'm guilty, I gotta walk the plank to my demise
But I got away with it, scot free, to my surprise
I left out the water gun wrapper on the floor for all to see
5 year old can't plan way into the future, it's about to be misery
Into a darkened room, where all I could see was his silhouette
He beat me with a rod, as I was weeping, wailing, and begging for forgiveness
But there was no mercy that day, only wrath and rage
I had to pay for my sins, I was too weak, and now I'm caged
He had me under lock and key inwardly
Cause I was broken on the inside, didn't have the reserves to stand up on my own two feet
Couldn't look him or anybody in the eyes, seeing the rage and pain within
But we were both slaves to sin, but now we were broken
I’m broken (because of you)  
I’m broken, broken, you broke me and my old man
Drag us into the dark
All I have left is pain
I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken
I’m broken, I’m broken
