Piece of Mind - Hogwash

Beyond the revelations, beyond the empty lies

There’s a truth which seems unreachable

And yet were trying our best to survive

We’re happy boys and girls

My dad came home trashed today

He expects me to behave

and to work my ass off And pretend

I ain’t going to end up the same way

He’s fooling himself,

disappointment’s never been a help

She didn’t notice

until she looked in his eyes,

the same old lies

A whole life built on failure

No,

we can’t forgive the kids we were before

My dad came home trashed today

He expects me to behave

And to work my ass off and pretend

I ain’t going to end up the same way

He’s fooling himself

No,

We can’t forgive the kids we were before

Beyond the revelations, beyond the empty lies

The same old fake reaction to bullshit and disguise

And the shame
