Read Wiped In Blue - Eyedea & Abilities[00:00:00]

I never knew my mom [00:00:38]

Once I was born she was dead[00:00:39]

She never wanted me [00:00:41]

At least that's what my dad said[00:00:42]

He said she was polluted [00:00:44]

Ignorant uncivilized[00:00:46]

And that was roughly the outline of[00:00:47]

What he beat into my head[00:00:49]

I grew up in a house[00:00:51]

With more rooms than I could count[00:00:52]

No siblings just strangers[00:00:54]

Always moving in and out[00:00:55]

My dad hated all our neighbors[00:00:57]

Had they stepped on his prophets[00:00:59]

They'd be finished[00:01:00]

'Cause getting his is what he was about[00:01:01]

Ever since his birth [00:01:04]

He was a nuisance to humanity[00:01:05]

I wish he died instead of mom [00:01:07]

Maybe then I'd love family[00:01:08]

But I'd smile at pops [00:01:10]

Concealing that feeling of "I hate you "[00:01:11]

Each day he'd wear the same three colors [00:01:13]

With the same suit[00:01:15]

And mother would come to me when[00:01:16]

I would close my eyes and sink[00:01:18]

To the thought of her beautiful voice [00:01:19]

And the lullabies she'd sing[00:01:21]

'Til I was sound asleep [00:01:22]

Then I'd awake and she'd be gone[00:01:24]

My whole life my soul echoed her songs[00:01:26]

I guess the grass is always greener on the other side[00:01:29]

And intangible experience structures one leviathan[00:01:33]

From the Koran to leprechauns[00:01:36]

Since when did America fall in[00:01:38]

Between Lebanon and Ireland [00:01:40]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:01:42]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:01:44]

Angel in my father's eyes [00:01:45]

Only 'cause it helps him rot[00:01:47]

Freedom screams through a sky [00:01:49]

Wounded by a culture shock[00:01:50]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:01:52]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:01:53]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:01:55]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:01:57]

Angel in my father's eyes [00:01:58]

Only 'cause it helps him rot[00:02:00]

Freedom screams through a sky [00:02:01]

Wounded by a culture shock[00:02:03]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:02:05]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:02:06]

His philosophy was to be up [00:02:07]

You gotta push someone down[00:02:09]

That was all I knew[00:02:11]

'Cause that was all I was around[00:02:12]

I found the flaws in his methods[00:02:14]

From the cause in myself[00:02:16]

Only an uncle to every one else[00:02:18]

He taught me how to talk[00:02:21]

Without looking in your eyes[00:02:22]

Gave me a nine to five [00:02:23]

Made me ignore the lullabies[00:02:25]

A puddle of the dried tears shade me colorless[00:02:26]

And categorize me as a baby failing to[00:02:29]

Realize how far away his mother is[00:02:31]

Our relationship hovered with strength [00:02:33]

Even though it's invisible[00:02:35]

Hard to quit hearing her poetry [00:02:37]

Piercing emotions leak[00:02:39]

With the notes she hits I float [00:02:40]

Defying gravitation[00:02:41]

The only mom I have is[00:02:43]

In my imagination So it goes[00:02:44]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:02:46]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:02:48]

Angel in my father's eyes [00:02:49]

Only 'cause it helps him rot[00:02:51]

Freedom screams through a sky [00:02:53]

Wounded by a culture shock[00:02:54]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:02:56]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:02:57]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:02:59]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:03:00]

One day daddy's gonna die [00:03:02]

Choking on the gun he bought[00:03:04]

One day daddy's gonna die [00:03:05]

Choking on the gun he bought[00:03:07]

One day daddy's gonna die [00:03:09]

One day daddy's gonna die [00:03:10]

And when that day comes[00:03:12]

I shall return to my mother[00:03:13]

And we'll walk hand in hand[00:03:15]

Straight to heaven[00:03:16]

And when the clouds part [00:03:18]

I'll tell her that I love her[00:03:19]

And she'll accept with an open heart [00:03:21]

No question[00:03:23]

Unless dad was right [00:03:24]

And she really was a monster[00:03:26]

Maybe her silhouette reflects the hell of his own childhood[00:03:28]

Maybe she's so insane [00:03:31]

No one cared to help[00:03:33]

But if nothing else on this earth could mend her spirit [00:03:34]

I bet my smile could[00:03:36]

The volumes of her songs decreased the older that I grew[00:03:38]

Daddy became my only influence of attitude[00:03:41]

Now I'm robotically imperialistic [00:03:44]

And careless of people[00:03:46]

A trait inherited by my parent's omnipotent ego[00:03:47]

His symbol's the eagle but his child isn't free[00:03:50]

You'll see no sign around my neck saying[00:03:53]

I'm proud to be me[00:03:55]

I'm not grown up the concept of adulthood is dead[00:03:56]

He left scars on my back when[00:04:00]

My notebook was read[00:04:01]

I guess the grass is always greener on the other side[00:04:03]

And intangible experience structures one leviathan[00:04:06]

From the Koran to leprechauns[00:04:09]

Since when did America fall in between[00:04:12]

Lebanon and Ireland [00:04:14]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:04:16]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:04:17]

Angel in my father's eyes [00:04:19]

Only 'cause it helps him rot[00:04:20]

Freedom screams through a sky [00:04:22]

Wounded by a culture shock[00:04:24]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:04:25]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:04:27]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:04:28]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:04:30]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:04:32]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:04:33]

Mamma was a lullaby [00:04:35]

Daddy was a melting pot[00:04:36]

Daddy don't think that I forgot[00:04:38]

Daddy don't think that I forgot[00:04:40]
