I'm smiling smiling fading dying
Tryin not to drag my feet
Painful painless incarcerated

I miss the love that set me free

Now all I want is love in return

but you take that away from me
Oh Allah please save my family


______

Spittn out words and you killing her inside


drop her from your heart but she carried you for nine


She gave up her dreams cause she wanted your life

She was living in the dark and you gave her light





But now that your grown you feel all alone

forgot everything that this woman condoned


A burden on your nerves as a baby though


you broke her heart when you started to grow




And dad came home everyday so late


I think we all started to really hate

this man who struggled with the food on our plate


his absence from our life really screwed up our fate






Live life or die in vain...Blood ties cut but who to blame

I will take this knife and stab away and take a gun and blow my brains





I'm living so trivial

hate isn't made up accidental


Love laughs at me at the dinner table


Mom and Dad...those are just labels

Love lies when you show that you hate me


neglect and regret is the only thing you taught me


___________

What do we do when we all fall apart


All of this hate is going to my heart


you said

We had family


I'm blind because you see


Love don't exist to us anymore

I can't ignore


You left my heart feeling so sore


and you said but you lied again


I won't sit here and just pretend

what's love I'm blind


___





Playing the rebel role for a few years

neglecting my fears and hiding these tears

Every single problem was a family affair


see I wouldn't adhere for I hear from my ears



I shut him out yeah shut them down


pains me to hear your running mouths

My anger has grown into hate somehow

always thought he could figure me out




Well Pops I'm proud but look at me now

divorce hit me hard..never could rebound

It's all a fantasy when your family can come and meet


and no one starts getting angry



You never was around to understand


that a muslim boy needs a muslim man

In this house I'm alone a house is no home

when you all pass by like were all unknown




Last time we loved was never never

We don't even say salaams to each other

Our family is dead and our eyes are blind


to see that were living but we never was alive

_____

What do we do when we all fall apart

All of this hate is going to my heart

you said

We had family

I'm blind because you see

Love don't exist to us anymore

I can't ignore

You left my heart feeling so sore



and you said but you lied again

I won't sit here and just pretend

what's love I'm blind

_____________________


How come real eyes realize real lies

Flick flickering fly fate you still blind



Expose a man to love and he's sure to hate

Give a blind man a heart and he's sure to stray

And this to the muslim teens in the USA

I could teach you how to love but you will let it fade away

________________

My soul decays my heart will fade
The pain that you gave has turned to hate
You changed my mind you warped my soul
I'm blinded alone no place to go

This broken house these broken dreams
Allah what is love in human beings
This generation that doesn't love
Our death will be hate and lost of trust

And we are blind Allah were blind
Open our hearts so we see the light
Allah were blind Allah were blind
Please guide me home and change my life

Please guide me home
and change
my
life
