  1. I haven't been home for a while
    I'm sure everything's the same
    Mom and Dad both in denial
    An only child to take the blame

    Sorry, Mom, but I don't miss you
    Father's no name you deserve
    I'm just a kid with no ambitions
    Wouldn't come home for the world

    Never know what I've become
    The king of all that's said and done
    The forgotten son

    This city's buried in defeat
    I walk along these no name streets
    Wave goodbye to all
    As I fall…

    At the dead end I begin
    To burn the bridge of innocence
    Satisfaction guaranteed
    A pill-away catastrophe

    On a mission nowhere bound
    Inhibitions underground
    A shallow grave I
    Have dug all by myself

    And now I've been gone for so long
    I can't remember who was wrong
    All innocence is long gone
    I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief
    Where I belong

    A walking disaster
    The son of all bastards
    You regret you made me
    It's too late to save me
    (You regret you made me
    It's too late to save me)

    As far as I can tell
    It's just voices in my head
    Am I talking to myself?
    'Cause I don't know what I just said

    Far is where I fell
    Maybe I'm better off dead
    Am I at the end of nowhere
    Is this as good as it gets?

    And now I've been gone for so long
    I can't remember who was wrong
    All innocence is long gone
    I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief
    Where I belong

    A walking disaster
    The son of all bastards
    You regret you made me
    It's too late to save me
    (You regret you made me
    It's too late to save me)

    And now I've been gone for so long
    I can't remember who was wrong
    All innocence is long gone
    I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief
    Where I belong

    A walking disaster
    The son of all bastards
    You regret you made me
    It's too late to save me
    (You regret you made me
    It's too late to save me)

    I will be home in a while
    You don't have to say a word
    I can't wait to see you smile
    Wouldn't miss it for the world

  2. This is the first song that I can sing myself and I am confident to sing it out loud. At 16, I would like to leave my parents for no reason, I am just getting enough with them telling me what to do with everything. But right now, I just want to go home and spend more time with them, just like the lyric at the end. Everything will have a reason, but you will always have to find it.

  3. This is the only song I can find about estranging yourself from abusive family and how it affects you as an adult. I listen to it when I need to. Sum41 excels at songs like this, others include abandonment, dealing with suicide and overcoming addiction. I find the direct, rhyming lyrics more impactful than navelgazing songs (even though I like those too). Thank you, Deryk for being so vulnerable and addressing your trauma directly. It helps others.

  4. I have almost no friends or social life I am every day of the institute by myself and it has been four years now but groups like sum 41 always cheer me up with their music and make them evade me and forget things even for a few hours ❤️
