"The Frailty of Relations."

The Frailty of Relations."

I stood back and watched it crumbling 
then wondered in awe when it finally... 

Did fall 

Sure, all the signs were there but I 
guess I was just to young to care 

Squandered away first love and family 
like most young men do as it is, it doesn't 
seem like we anymore have the fortitude 
that holds it all together like glue like 
they used to 

70 years ago families thrived and lasted 

I've heard of marriages that have surpassed 

three-quarters of a century... 

Shit, that's amazing to me

I know that, that was a different time and
mentality...

And things weren't really as beautiful on
the inside as the outside made it appear
to be

I look at my mom and pop; shit with the
way he treats her theirs should have a long
time ago stopped

But she believes in that old school shit...

No matter how he treats her, with his ass
she has to live

And it doesn't help that their religion teaches
her that shit

The mans the head and you should bow
down to his dick

That was old school America

What a fucking crock...

Fake facade

The outsides surreal but the insides full of
putrid rot
