next door is a little boy crying
he holds his druggie mother in his arms because she's slowly dying

his life is nothing but a black hole
his mother gives her soul away every night on that stripper pole

his eyes are badly bloodshot
the living room floor is where his mothers' dead corpse will rot

the pain in his heart cannot be healed
his mothers fate has already been sealed

his father is another story
a pathetic and dead beat dad named Cory

Cory was a drug dealer
a depression healer

he wasn't worried about his struggling son
he was worried about pulling the trigger to his gun

next door is a little boy crying
he holds his druggie mother in his arms because she's slowly dying

this little boy holds heavy guilt
this all started at the new store that was just built

peer pressure is a b****
it wasn't his fault that he got caught, it was the neighborhood snitch

he stole a couple beers
the whole idea came from the idiots he calls peers

him and his friends drunk a few
they probably smoked a little too

a cop saw him walking down the street with a bottle in his hand
the little boy could barely stand

somebody told him that drinking would take away all his fears

they lied

next door is a little boy crying
he holds his druggie mother in his arms because she's slowly dying

his tears flow down like a river
his mothers body is starting to shiver

his mother didn't want this life
she just wanted to be somebodies wife

to have and to hold 'til death do them part
seems like the end is beginning to start

back in high school she got mixed up with the wrong crowd
that crowd was loud

that crowd was cool
that crowd was the crowd that broke every school rule

in the middle of this crowd she met Cory
a.k.a. the little boys father, the one who cheated on her with a white chick named Tory

ever since then a type of hate sparks away inside the mother
the same mother who later on got transported to the hospital by her older brother

that night she didn't die in the little boys arms

actually she died a long time ago, it was the day she told Cory she was pregnant with the little boy, they found her body laid out in front of the old royal farms

I guess Cory really did pull that trigger
