Thou have fathered

Son and daughter

Doth begat, yet raised not bother

Paralyzed your children's lives

Wither vines of family ties



Self-destruction

Make him function

Crayons and clay

Days turn blue to gray

Days turn blue to gray



Seventeen when

Family begin

Drinking, fighting, heroin

Unquenchable addictions call

Responsible to none above all



Self-destruction

Make him function

Crayons and clay

Days turn blue to gray

Days turn blue to gray



Lest I taste

Its sweet grapes

Glass to tongue

Across it tips

Cross my lips

Swallow it down



Please

Won't you love me?

Please help me see

What did I do?

Did I hurt you?

And now that you're gone

Emptiness lives on

The guilt is all I feel

No closure



Father

Motherfucker

No closure



The strings of my heart

You pulled on endlessly

This twine is severed

In tragedy



Father

Mother Destroyer

Destroy her



[Solo: Demmel]



Your self-destruction

What made you feel alive

Your self-destruction

Of your children's

Lives
