Different by Eedee Lyrics
[Verse 1]
His parents were devout, a pair of fundementalists
He couldn't watch that scary movie even though he rented it
He went up to his room and he cried just for the benefit
Of the doubt he never got and now this humiliation's killing him
It's bottled up inside and he wishes he could just explode
It's like he's lost up on this Earth and the truth would help get him home
But then he moans... the tears begin to touch his cheeks
His older brother hasn't talked to him in six fucking weeks
Since he confided in him, he thought he could trust the dude
"I'll tell you something that's eating me, bro, but it's up to you
Your beliefs are strong but you're my brother so I hope you know
This" but then he told him the secret, it was a broken code
His brother wasn't slow to go and shove him out his fucking room
He knew he should've waited to tell him, it was much too soon
He was headed for the table but he came upon the corner; stopped
He heard his brother tell his parents and all their forks were dropped
[Chorus]
There's no sense being mean to people cuz they're different
Sitting on the fence, seeing green from nature's wish list
They're different... he's different...
We're somewhat different, motherfucker, do you get this? (x2)
[Verse 2]
A human being ridiculed, so he turned to human fleeing
Away from this reality of prejudice he's used to seeing
He's sick of all this ruthless beating with useless dreaming
The fruitless screaming freezes him like these putrid seasons
That go by all around him as he shakes from cold and hunger pains
He's homeless and it hurts his head that holds his troubled brain
When his parents heard his secret, he was hated, he was thrown out
With nowhere to go or stay the sidewalk is his home now
With no sound in the alleyway, he falls asleep on freezing ground
He thinks of how they keep him down, his torn heart is beating loud
A teenager with no hope. No home. And no road
A smile creeps up on his face he knows he's grown to go home
He shuffles through a trashbin and finds what he's been asking for
A rope for him to end his life, because the guy can take no more
He tossed it up around the limb, scared to death, his face numb
The joggers found him with a note that said: "This is your gay son"
[Chorus]
There's no sense being mean to people cuz they're different
Sitting on the fence, seeing green from nature's wish list
They're different... he's different...
We're somewhat different, motherfucker, do you get this? (x2)
[Verse 3]
Even though they're to blame, his family mourned his death
They didn't give a shit when he walked and warned he left
They condemned him for something he could not control
With bitterness and sorrow he opted out and offed his soul
When they brought him home, ashes filled the solid urn
Classes still had fall returns but now it was the coffin's turn
To be filled to the brim with nothing just as he had been
No one asked for his opinion he could not plead the fifth
About all of his friends didn't see the groundball
His life had a short stop, his difference was his downfall
Even as he hears his fate his parents still have tears today
He used to have a fearless name and now he's gone to clear the pain
But here's his shame. When that rope was being tied
He thought of life as dead with the hope as seeing eye
To eye with the sky, the horizon sunk beneath his brow
He can't help who he is, and that's the reason he is now
His parents were devout, a pair of fundementalists
He couldn't watch that scary movie even though he rented it
He went up to his room and he cried just for the benefit
Of the doubt he never got and now this humiliation's killing him
It's bottled up inside and he wishes he could just explode
It's like he's lost up on this Earth and the truth would help get him home
But then he moans... the tears begin to touch his cheeks
