like a family 
all together 
in a game 
with a problem 
all the kindness 
and the pressure 
and the fear 
to maintain us

got to sell the house 
and move away from the hate 
with daddy gone to try 
and stay would be a mistake 
forget your pride you'd only lose the things that were 
fake 
suburban middle class not worth the hearts that could 
break

past the houses 
to the blank sky seein nothin 
with a cold eye 
after hearing 
cruel reflection 
of the parents 
that despise us

got to sell the house 
with daddy gone to try 
and stay would be a mistake
forget your pride you'd only lose the things that were 
fake 
suburban middle class not worth the hearts that could 
break 

separation 
to an infant 
or a family 
for replacement 
competition 
add religion 
a distraction for affection 

we've got to sell the house 
and move away from the hate 
with daddy gone to try 
and stay would be a mistake 
forget your pride you'd only lose the things that were 
fake suburban middle class not worth the hearts that 
could break
