Honor Thy Father Lyrics


We're taught unconditional love,

that blood is thicker than water,

that a parent's world would revolve

always around their son or their daughter.

You pretended I was your own

and even believed that you loved me,

but were always threatened by some

invisible blood line that only you could see.

You took advantage of an outreached hand

and twisted it to meet your every need.

"Gimme time to recharge my batteries,

I'll see her when she's older and

I'll bounce her on my knee."

Well listen to me you ungrateful fool,

here comes a dose of reality!

You'll go to your grave

a sad and lonely man,

the door is now closed on

your pathetic little plan.

On and on and

on and on it goes,

it's so easy to run away

with nothing in tow.

How can you ever sleep a wink at night,

pretending that everything is all right

and have the nerve to blame this mess on me?

Never in my life have I seen someone

so ignorant to the damage he has done,

you're the rotted root in the family tree.

I tried your 4 bill therapy,

I tried to make amends,

but nothing could lure you

out of your selfish shell again.

Expecting everyone

to bow and kiss your feet,

don't you see respect is

not a one-way street?

Blaming everyone for

all that you've done wrong,

I'll get my peace of mind

when you hear this song.

On and on and

on and on it goes,

and with every passing day

true colors show.

How can you ever sleep a wink at night,

pretending that everything is all right,

and have the balls to blame this mess on me?

Never in my life have I seen someone

oblivious to the damage he has done,

you're the rotted root in the family tree.

Watch where you walk, don't you

dare cross the crooked step.

Watch the way you talk,

don't cross the crooked step!

"This is a regret that you make."

"We just don't connect."

"This is a regret that you make..."

"I want my family back!"

"...and there's something you take."

"You can't have it,

I'm sorry for you but

it's too late!"

"Mistakes like this you don't make."

"Can't you see anything except in

terms of how it affects you?"

"You make some and they'll get to you!"

"You don't love anybody! I gave you money,

I gave you a car, I took you in..."

"It's not OK, son!"

"...but don't that mean something?"

"A little..."

"Do I admire people too much?"

"No, you should do better!"

"That disappoints you..."

"God damn regrets!"

"You deserve to die alone

for what you've done!"

"God damn regrets!"

"Don't deny it!"

"You cocksucker,

I know you can hear me."

"Don't deny it!"

"I want you to know I

hate your fucking guts!"

"The biggest regret in my life!"

"I wish you'd fucking die."

"I let my love go!"

"I'm your blood, I'm your family."

"Is that you?"

"You're not my family, not anymore"

"The fucking regrets!"

"When your own flesh

and blood renounces you..."

"What did I do?"

"...you have no choice but

to renounce them."

"What did I do?"

On and on and

on and on it goes.

Chauvinistic, heartless,

selfish, cold!

How can you ever sleep a wink at night,

pretending that everything is all right

and have the balls to blame this shit on me?

Never in my life have I seen someone

so fucking blind to the damage he has done,

you're the rotted root in the family tree.
