Spawn of John (Built Wrong)

from The Years Barely Left a Trace by TJ Felix

lyrics

i see thru tears
my formative years
its different here
w/o smoke&mirrors
i felt so small
you punched the wall
do i exist at all?
or am i a hallucination from your drug withdrawl?

it hasnt passed w/time
the pain, the grief, the trauma..
is it yours or mine?

troubled kid guess he was born that way
whipped him into shape, beat him everyday
sent him to that school where they teach spirits to break
took him away
from friends & family
then he went astray
& then came me

go pitch a tent out on the dead lawn
stepmom had a fit, cursed the spawn of john
she's laughing at my dreams w/the tv on
im starving,
im stranded,
wont somebody tell me that something is wrong..

over & over
its all in my mind
i dont know whats going on
i just know ive been built wrong

over & over
its under my skin
dont know whats going on
i am the spawn of john

im looking back
on all ive lost
came out in tact?
but at what cost?
last in a line
of abusive men
the choice is mine?
will it happen again?

it hasnt passed w/time
the pain, the grief, the trauma
is it yours or mine?
