[Chorus: Sampling "Bea Miller - Young Blood"]
But in dark times when we close our eyes it's a nightmare
It's a nightmare..
When the sun don't shine we lose our minds it's a nightmare
It's a nightmare...


[Verse: Braidz]
I was nearly two in my first memory I have of you
I'd assume you'd had some booze and I was in the lounge-room you
And mum were arguing I was watching Superman all casual
Turned around you had her hair and up the stairs you dragged her through
Don't remember what happened after that...
Tay was born, suddenly you were gone, my memory fades - I'm nine or ten
Mum remarried, we were meant to see you on the weekend
Told her you'd need cash though or else we wouldn't see him
When I moved in it was over though, the damage was done
You'd leave us home alone - And always ran off for drugs
My grandfather was a damn father more than my damned father was
Overdosed, you never taught us what the number for the ambulance was
And that happened two times
You used to be so successful, 'til you found you a new line
All the dangers you introduced to us, Strangers who introduced to us
A brainless lame and draining version of what once was good 'til you'd do the stuff


[Chorus: Sampling "Bea Miller - Young Blood"]
But in dark times when we close our eyes it's a nightmare
It's a nightmare..
When the sun don't shine we lose our minds it's a nightmare
It's a nightmare...


[Verse: Braidz]
You used to be so cool, then I saw through the illusion
And abusive booze-head, wish I could take my blood and bruise it
Every last little bits of faith I had in you was stupid
Hepatitis gonna catch you soon and you've just had a new kid
At least this one won't have to carry the heat
But if you ain't gone by the time he's grown you'll need a Great Barrier, Reef
'Cause daddy's a dredging oil splash who's bound to be burned
Even his own blood wants to see him six feet down into Earth
Every year mum would get me the new Pokemon, what's the shit he did?
Get a new broken home where dope was grown, what a sick Christmas!
I'm sick vicious 'cause the dimwitted shit he did
Got to a point I grabbed a fucking 2x4 and took a fuckin' swing with it
The only reason I hope you don't puff on the meth more?
Is I wanna be the one who beats the drugs to your death cause
So when you hear this drop dead, because your heart is really weak
You were never a father figure, just a father figurine
You fake fuck...


[Chorus: Sampling "Bea Miller - Young Blood"]
But in dark times when we close our eyes it's a nightmare
It's a nightmare..
When the sun don't shine we lose our minds it's a nightmare
It's a nightmare...
But in dark times when we close our eyes it's a nightmare
It's a nightmare..
When the sun don't shine we lose our minds it's a nightmare
It's a nightmare...
