The Blueprint (Explicit)

I remember this house when it was just an empty lot

I drew the plans myself. A good kitchen for your meals

A garden for the children. Solid walls to keep the wind out

I gave you the world, my child. A world without torment

We had nothing, you see. We worked without limit, without complaint

So you would never have to know the fear, the hunger, or the grip

Of uncertainty. Every brick of your life is a gift from mine

So why that face? Why all this pain?

Let me take the children for the weekend

You just need to sleep

You should go on a vacation

Take the time to reset and to heal

In my day, we didn't have this word

This 'burnout', this luxury of the mind

We just clenched our teeth, we moved ahead

And we were grateful to be alive

You have everything you need to be happy

It's so simple. You just have to want it

The right marriage. The right neighborhood

The career that makes us all so proud

The perfect children, succeeding at everything

Raised without a single shout

The recipe was simple, the blueprint was clear

Without a single smudge

A perfect life, a straight, clean line

A masterpiece above all judgment

I gave you the plan

All you had to do was follow the lines I drew

I gave you the answer long before

The question ever occurred to you

I built your house

I paved your road

I even planted your own sun in the morning sky

I gave you everything

So tell me

Why

Isn't it enough?
