Soulbender - D-A-D

I've got a painters eye 
And a skilled musicians ears 
And I'm silent - in 7 languages 
And I've got all my family's fears... 
What lives inside you? 
Yeah, what stuffs your skin?? 
- Someone elses memory.. 
How come I never hear what I wanna hear 
How come I never see what I wanna see... 
The choice is small If there's choice at all 
But I'm holding on as if I'm going to fall 
Now I know how it feels 
- To be ragged and wild 
-- Whipped like a stepchild 
Feel the soulbender 
Fear's knocking at your skin 
Feel the soulbender 
Just to see if any soul is in.. 

Whether one want them to or not 
So far between a while well spent 
And the time spent keepin' up... 
Make one devoted 
And settle like a bird 
Forgive and try not to hurt 
Don't take your garbage 
- Anywhere but out.. 
Before the pup in your heart 
- Becomes a dog in your mind 
And it's licking my brains... 
Sucking reason out 
It will be cooking my head 
With the lid on tight 
You know how it feels: 
- 'Till I'm ragged and wild 
Whipped like a stepchild 
Feel the soulbender - Fear's knocking at your skin 
Feel the soulbender - Just to see if any soul is in.. 
Feel the soulbender - Fear's knocking at your skin 
Feel the soulbender - Bend you - Break you.. 

With empty eyes; Blank, like two wet stones 
In search for a home; In search for a soul 
Handed down on the family network 
Learning how it works... - To be a jerk.. 
Feel the soulbender...
