lyrics

Torturous
Venomous mouth
A dirty traitor, to you I am bound

Bloodline
I'll sacrifice
To cut you out from my own life

A creature
It whispers and festers

Important
Your views are not
Judging me with your remarks

Rotting
Inside and out
Memory of a man beloved

A creature
It whispers and festers

You are the one that I based my life upon
No one else, I was your only son
I can't believe you'd leave your flesh and blood
To survive alone
What kind of idol are you
To leave his first born son

Look at me, I'm always living on
Not beside, I always stay headstrong
To see you in the street would be a pleasure
And stare you down
See the hurt and wrenching in my eyes
No denial, no more selfish lies
My father

Sometimes I look in the mirror
And I see you staring back
Thoughts so dark come creeping in
To take our lives
