I grew up in this small town, this settlement.
From a young age I was forced to start battling.
Between my mum and dad... Dealing with stuff I had...

No clue about, without a doubt it was confusing to me.
But it made me see, the world in a different way today.
Different perspective on life... looking back it was like young trife.

I struggled everyday, upset and angry... Trying to understand it.
Sixth birthday.. Shouldn't be a day that my parents hurt me...
Broken and miss-understood... The household I was in was anything but good.

Yet I always grew up maintaining my manners, I was everything but rude.
Trying to be forced not to see my Dad at the time seemed right but it wasn't good.
Battling behind my back at court... I lost childhood years of father support.

Growing up without a role model... How am I meant to be a man?
When there isn't a man around to show me the ropes, the plan.

When you know you have to hold your own...
We're gonna kill them with kindness.

When your forced to grow up alone...
We're gonna kill them with kindness.
When you only have a few members of your family

Only a select from my younger years who trained me.
We're gonna kill them with kindness.
When your minds miss-understood.

We're gonna kill them with kindness.

My mums first new relationship was confusing to me... It was hard to be...

Accepting change when your minds in need of re-arrange... Accepting a new man in the household.
Trying to be the young 10 year old...
It's something I guess we're told... to be... Strong.. Confident... Adament to get what you want.

As long as it doesn't hurt anyone... I did nothing but escape to my room, it was the only way I could run.
From the problems behind my bedroom door... My mother was something all my years I adored.
Meeting a new man is hard when they visited for the weekend... Before I got to meet him.

He'd end up leaving before the week ends. Two Weeks with mum and two days with dad.
That kind of juggling around for kid, you'd think it doesn't bother us, but it did... It was mad.
But I guess two parents is all you have... My younger years I didn't know what I wanted.

When your minds miss-understood.

Escaping to my bedroom all day to play games... it became a habit... I became crabit...

As I grew older more chores were forced upon me to do for my mum... Now i'm wondering if I was the one...
Who grew up... alongside my brother, without the concept of what it would be like to have a real mother...
