Voorhees (Theme-Song)
One day we found our birth mom’s obit
Livin life with a family full of strangers
Verse 1:
In daze I can see why I fell for you
But wide awake I can only see I was a fool
A million bee stings all at once happening
Barbed wire fences running all across me
And I find no comfort in this reality
And I see that no ones harmless or even loving
And I wanna scream
But all I can do is bleed
In a way I can almost understand my unwarranted
attraction to the likes of an egotist like you
But like a mile-high tsunami gaining up on me
You were figuratively strangling me until I couldn’t breathe
And nothing settles well at all within me
And So I have nothing at all to say well not good anyway
And I wanna breathe
But all I can do is scream
So why do I still love you so
When you were never nice you know
And why did you fucking go
Because you like putting on shows
And I wanna scream
But all I can do is bleed
And I wanna breathe
But all I can do is scream
Verse 1:
Those days when you whispered
Into my ear they were so loving
Those things like when you held me
Warm memories so captivating
I tried to hold onto you for so long
But you pushed me right out of your life
I tried to hold onto you for so long
But you blurred me right out of your sight
I’d fret over our fighting
It was so frightening
I was so afraid I’d lose
The one thing that made me happy
You were so classy why’d you go away
I tried to hold onto you for so long
(Tried to hold ya, tried to hold ya)
But you pushed me right out of your life
I tried to hold onto you for so long
(Tried to hold ya, tried to hold ya)
But you blurred me right out of your sight
Those forever promises stick in my head
I never expected us to have an end
I tried to hold onto you for so long
(So long)
But you pushed me right out of your life
(Right out of your life)
I tried to hold onto you for so long
(So long)
But you blurred me right out of your sight
(Right out of your sight)
Verse 1:
I fell in love with you that night
Held you close looked into your eyes
Told you everything would be alright
How did I know it was a lie
I still think about you all the time
Yes you’re always on my mind
But baby I’m not gonna lie
You were just a curse right in my life
Hard to believe years have passed now
and I still love you evermore
And I still love you even more
I always knew our life conflicts
I knew our love came with limits
But I just could not help it
I fell hard for you nonetheless
And each day I feared the inevitable
But I conquered all the impossible
And never let my spunky spirits fold
Even though I knew the time would come to let you go
Hard to believe years have passed now
and I still love you evermore
And I still love you even more
I knew that our time was short
The back of my head was sore
And I didn’t wanna hurt anymore
But I kept loving you evermore
and I still love you evermore
And I still love you even more
Verse 1:
I did everything to stroke your ego
But it just wasn’t enough
Then I tried to make you fuckin’ feel good
But now I’m fed up
‘Cause I gave up on you. Must be you’re not memorable
Yes I gave up on you ‘cause you’re a numb asshole
I put so much hard work into you
But it just didn’t matter
‘Cause you wanted me to erase it all
Because your life’s just sadder
You can pretend that your past is not a part of you
But how dare you ask that of me. I’m not your tool
You’re there in the past
I’ll never stroke you again
You will lay to rest
Yes you’re left for dead
I’ve had it
Yes you get
You get no more chances
Cause I gave up on you. Must be you’re not memorable
Yes I gave up on you ‘cause you’re a numb asshole
You can pretend that your past is not a part of you
But how dare you ask that of me. I’m not your tool
Verse 1:
I’m captured here in your accusing doubts
In your negative vision of who I am right now
That’s not the way I picture myself
But how would you know
You were never around
Never around
I’m fine with me
Why can’t you see
You’re un-accepting
So just let me be
I’m fine with me
Why can’t you see
You’re un-accepting
So just let me be
Do you really know what your angers about
Maybe you should go and figure it out
Are you hiding something about yourself
That causes you to
Always put me down
Put me down
I’m fine with me
Why can’t you see
You’re un-accepting
So just let me be
I’m fine with me
Why can’t you see
You’re un-accepting
So just let me be
Verse 1:
My path has always been
to find attraction within
the best damn man that I could find
My goal has always been
to find a guy with whom I could settle down with
Think ahead
Draw up the divorce papers beforehand
Just incase
Even though I’ll never love another man
And then
Lets get married
My analytical nature has helped me
weed out all the shrubs
But also hurts me consequently
It leaves me with no one
But careful
Draw up the prenup and cut up the Visas
Be cautious
Re-up your freedom when enough is enough
And then
Lets get married
It ain’t anybody’s job to fix up my head
It ain’t anybody’s job
Lets get married
Verse 1:
I used to be that weirdo in the shadows
I was that kid you never knew but that you’d always hassle
I tell ya my shrinks got rich off my gigantic battles
I wish I’d known what I know now and perhaps not been so rattled
I had to feel like I was in a world where I belonged
It’s something I never got ‘til after I grew up
All the way from stonewall, back to the stone age
We’ve fought for equality for our oppressed community
With nothing but visions of love on our minds
just take it in stride - you’ve gotta have hope and pride
Perhaps you feel like you’re the black sheep of your family
Or maybe feel like you’re the outcast that no one fancies
Well even though psychiatry may be a noble profession
The cure comes to pass once you realize that there’s nothing wrong with you
You’ve got to feel like you are in a place where you are loved
You’ve got to know that you’re perfect just the way you are
All the way from stonewall back to the stone age
We’ve fought for equality for our oppressed community
With nothing but visions of love on our minds
just take it in stride - you’ve gotta have hope and pride
Verse 1:
I can go for months without giving into you or your demented shit
Even though I shouldn’t have to
I can shrug it off for hours at a time but not without consequences
I’m beginning to crack and bruise
I’ve spoke these words a million times
In a thousand different ways
Shocking it doesn’t ease my pain
You do not exist
You’re only in my head
So then how the hell am I
Over-affected
Every now and then I swear I can feel the walls a-closing in
And it’s just not fair
And it seems that they attack me when I’m already at my weakest
And you don’t care
I’ve spoke these words a million times
In a thousand different ways
Shocking it doesn’t ease my pain
You do not exist
You’re only in my head
So then how the hell am I
Over-affected
So many many times I’ve hid my face in my palms and cried
So many many times I’d contemplate my demise, terrified
So many many times I’ve hid my face in my palms and cried
So many many times I’d contemplate my demise, terrified
You do not exist
You’re only in my head
So then how the hell am I
Over-affected
You do not exist
You’re only in my head
So then how the hell am I
Over-affected
Verse 1:
Dear Brother
You’ve been gone a really long time
And you’ve missed so much
Even the start of my life
Your parents
well they got married
and had more children
and just lived
But our father I know they say he is a good dad
has banished me all because I am a gay man
I wonder if you would have stuck up for me
I wonder what would be your sexuality
I wonder if you and I would still be talking
I wonder what kind of person you would be
I wonder if you would have stuck up for me
I wonder what would be your sexuality
I wonder if you and I would still be talking
I wonder what kind of person you would be
Our father
had a thing for the ladies
and strayed from your mom
and had 2 more babies
and I’m one of them
Hi my name is Bradley
Wish I could have known ya
But I never did sadly
And our father I know they say he is a good dad
has banished me all because I am a gay man
I wonder if you would have stuck up for me
I wonder what would be your sexuality
I wonder if you and I would still be talking
I wonder what kind of person you would be
I wonder if you would have stuck up for me
I wonder what would be your sexuality
I wonder if you and I would still be talking
I wonder what kind of person you would be

Those forever promises stick in my head

(Right out of your life)
I tried to hold onto you for so long

Oh-em-gee we’re octuplets
Under one roof, 8 of us
Then they showed up and asked to move in
And even though we didn’t even know them
How could we say no, we were 8 twins
Though we all grownups, we all just met
And no, trust I’m not BS’in’
But getting to know thems been fun
Drinkin coffee at a table full of strangers
Trying to shower in the morning spells ‘danger’
Sometimes I pull my hair out
But I still gotta find hot guys to date
And I gotta keep ‘em off my sibling’s plates
But what can I say, 8 siblings live with me
