Parallels
T.O.M Lyrics

I wanna get lost for while
Drive all night
I wanna just lose my troubles
See what I find whoa!
Why me? why am I the target?
Why am I the one who hurts where my heart is?
Try to lay low and tuck my chin to my chest
Stay behind the shadows while snakes continue to rattle
See I pray I never get noticed already been humiliated
Picked on and teased punched and kicked to my knees A fist full of keys unlocked the door to my pain
Beat on until I folded hate formed like a swarm of locusts
Left on the ground in pain found the strength to go home
Walk through the door act like everything's cool these pills soothe
Take 1 take 2 take a mouthful
Numb the pain these bullies make me say
I wanna get lost for a while
And take my time
I wanna go somewhere nowhere
No where in mind
I wanna get lost for while
Drive all night
I wanna just lose my troubles
See what I find whoa!
See I wake every day to beatings from dad
The reasons are anything somethings and everything
Smacked for just breathing punched for leaving dishes
Locked on my room until my frustration blooms
When I head to school full of fury and rage
My book of hate's open I read every page
Find the weakest kid I know punch and kick him and smack him
Cause in my house I'm abused so I bring it to school
I don't know why I do it my misery hates company
These other kids that I'm hurting facts they don't deserve it
This cycle needs to end this self hate needs to stop
Maybe I should just end it all sometimes
I wanna get lost for a while
And take my time
I wanna go somewhere nowhere
Nowhere in mind
I wanna get lost for while
Drive all night
I wanna just lose my troubles
See what I find whoa!
The 1st verse the kid thats bullied the second is the bully
Different paths and lanes but the results are the same
Self hate no confidence and low self esteem
Suicides never the answer there's no in between
So please reach out to anyone who will listen
Stuck in the same spot? we'll help switch your position
Understand your life is worth more than you think
Let's stop bullying today so you'll never say
I wanna get lost for a while
And take my time
I wanna go somewhere nowhere
Nowhere in mind
I wanna get lost for while
Drive all night
I wanna just lose my troubles
See what I find whoa!
