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 his soul

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-detruction

Of your children's Lives
