It has taken me the past few years To gather all these pieces A man torn a part, a man ripped to bone Its not easy to make these pieces align properly Because my hands still shake at the very thought of you
Family is supposed to be your stronghold, your anchor But you were absent minded Or not present at all "Youll never amount to anything" Was the encouragement I ever got And now you wonder why Ive turned my back on you
All I ever wanted was somebody to listen All I ever wanted was somebody to care But 17 years have passed us both by And all I ever learned from you is Life isnt fucking fair
Here I fucking am kicking and screaming Am i being loud enough ? can you even fucking hear me? Am I just a failure to you and mom? Tell me, Did I let you down? Please Tell me where I went wrong
The truth is I may look just like you But I will never treat my child Like you treated yours She may be only three But I support her big dreams Even though they outstretch beyond infinity I will always listen to her I will always be there when she calls I will never lie to her face Or tell her those big dreams are too farfetched
Maybe I shouldnt be so hard on you After all you may not have shown me how to be a better man, But you showed me who I should never become Despite all of this Despite my hatred for the things weve been through I still love you
Broken hearts And broken homes Bastards of this world we are never alone We find strength Were fighting through regression The wayward sons of men Always Pushing progression
