Through My Parents' Eyes

Through My Parents' Eyes

This is the next song in the fucked up relationship album. There's nothing like seeing the fucked upness of your own life through someone else's eyes (in this case, it's through the narrator's parents' eyes). When you see someone else seeing how fucked up your life is, it's harder to stay in denial about the fucked upness of said life. 

The lyrics are:

I saw him through my parents' eyes

There was something freaky - sinister and creepy

I saw him through my parents' eyes

Something's wrong with this man - he no longer looks grand

I don't think he's right in the head

I have new perspective - I should be selective

In my childhood bedroom, I got extra headroom

I used to be happy - now I'm feeling crappy

Why did I grow up to being ever stuck to

A man who's not right in the head?

See, being at the house where I grew up

Gave me perspective - I almost threw up

This man is so scary, and he does not care for me

And I cannot marry him out of some charity

I used to be a happy, carefree kid

Now I am sad, and I have to get rid

Of the man who makes me so unhappy

Being here makes me realize how much he is crappy

I saw him through my parents' eyes - yes I did, yes I did

It's hard to be in denial with a smile

When I'm seeing this guy, looking through my parents' eyes
