Father
Watch me wallow in your %#@!
Crawling through with a smile

One you haven't seen for a while

I will dream of heaven tonight

Only to wake [up] to this hellish life

Endlessly drowning in your guilt

From your ever so watchful eyes
Glaring, rejecting, end the trust
Blood was never enough


Harsh were the words you spit in my face
Always pulling me deeper

Pounding away at what we once had
Our life is lost


This has simply become a game
That neither of us can win
Yet, we remain so truculent

Constantly masking the love we share

Our power is only outmatched by our fear

This just can't go on
Our end is here


I will dream of heaven tonight
Only to wake [up] to this hellish life


We will dream of heaven tonight
Only to wake [up] to this hellish life


I feel your pain trudging deeper
Deeper into my own soul


We have forgotten what the $#&@ a family is
We have forgotten what the $#&@ a family is
