Dad

(Album: Tangaroa - 2021)

You cut me off, stuck in my own brain
You lock us up over and over again
Opening my mouth causes too much pain
So I spend another night in my cell

You know it's evil but you still eat it
You know it'll kill us but you're still breathing
Too strong to ask for therapy
Only cowards cry about history

You always say that you're doing your best
Unrelenting cerebral arrest
Have no fear
Life's not fair
I swear I'll be there next year

You made me wish I was never born
I never had the chance to ask why you're gone

Who am I supposed to blame?
So many things about you need to change
A problem bigger than how I feel
Do you even care, how am I supposed to heal?

You put a gun up against his head
How can I blame you when you were dead
I wish I had the guts to say
That your life affected mine this way

You always say that you're doing your best
Unrelenting cerebral arrest
Have no fear
Life's not fair
I swear I'll be there next year

Here! Gone!
Here! Gone!
You're here! And you're gone!
You're here! And you're gone!

Have no fear
Life's not fair
I swear I'll be there next year

You always said that it was all for me
Otherwise you would set yourself free
Have no fear
I'm still here
You said you'll be here this year
