Tether - Coma Cinema

I’m the fucked up kid in school

Dead in the eyes of the rules

I got sent home for throwing up

My friends think being sick is cool

And my dad beat up my mom

'Cause she’s an alcoholic

But he’s an alcoholic too

Through the looking glass of abuse

I wanna sleep next to you

After school, before my mom calls

To see when I’m coming home

I can finally see where the tether ends

Mortally coiled around nothingness

Mortally coiled around nothingness

Mortally coiled around nothingness

I’m the fucked up kid in school

Maybe I’ll join the army

No one will ever know me truly

My rage has silenced a cry for help

My mom’s dealer put a gun to my head

For a laugh, for his friends

And in that moment I knew I could kill

My mother’s prison is herself

I wanna sleep next to you

After school, before my mom calls

To see when I’m coming home

I can finally see where the tether ends

Mortally coiled around nothingness

Mortally coiled around nothingness

Mortally coiled around nothingness
