Family Secret

Help me out

I don’t know what you’re talking about

When you send me off to play with the neighbors

There’s something I can’t figure out

You’re all cold

And I’d hoped you’d act a little bit more

Like on any other day

But now there’s something left to say that you won’t

So down doobie do da da

Don’t tell me not to play in the neighbor’s yard

’Cause I’m stayin out ’til dark

’Til you tell what you’re not letting on

Tell me what’s been going on

Your old ghosts

They’re moved on in and living with us

And I’ve heard you on the phone

Whispering “Someone else is home”

But it’s just us

And you’re cold

And it’s like you think I don’t even know

And I just don’t understand now

Why you wanna leave me alone

Down in the cellar, there’s something, I swear

‘Cause on the days that I stay home from school

I always find a reason to keep me in suspicion

I know, I know, I know

I’m to mind my own business, but there’s a little difference

When you’re living in the great unknown

It’s tearing me apart and I can tell there’s something wrong
