Verse 2

Sisters and brothers waiting in a line, mother’s baking cake tonight

Little fingers claw the bowl always doing what they’re told always keeping out of sight

Turn out the communion, prince at any cost, even if the rent is late

It’s hard to fight, when you gave me every movement of your life

Keeping watch outside the gate

EIn light of these Fdreams I rent, I Emight just make it Fhome

GThat’s enough of white eClephants

GBeing pushed up my N.C.
