|
I asked you to be a symbol of strength that was once given yet you mocked me |
|
Oh the mockery |
|
And I placed so much confidence in the lessons I swear you taught me yet you mock me |
|
Oh the mockery |
|
And you taunt me about glory days |
|
You say my best it yet behind me |
|
You just bring up old stuff, our relationship is so unhealthy |
|
So codependent, |
|
You cut me...down |
|
You blame me, I blame me |
|
But I'm a man and I won't crack |
|
And I won't show emotions, right |
|
I do just like my daddy did and he is dead |
|
I bury you. |
|
I built me a mausoleum with a storage unit attached to it Just for you |
|
And I have grown so very weary at failing to make you stay there |
|
I hate it when you show up at my functions |
|
You're so pompous |
|
And without an ounce of shame |
|
You almost ruined my marriage, You mocked me |
|
Oh the humanity |
|
And I tired to upgrade the way I speak |
|
And raise my daughter, |
|
But every time I open my mouth all I hear is my father |
|
And the same foolish pride and pitfalls that he installed Leaked through my pores like |
|
Poor me, so annoying |
|
And I placed so much faith in you |
|
But you let me down... |
|
I see my own eyes in my eight year old when I correct her |
|
Why won't you go away? |
|
You smirk as you chase me |
|
You a coy, hellin a troy that toys with emotions |
|
And feeble |
|
Bring boys, like me fall for it every time you mock me |
|
And I'll probably do my best to convince you that I'm the victim |
|
And you just don't believe me |
|
You insist you are me |
|
And I've ran, and I've ran |
|
Yet your stride is identical |
|
Every step I took your foot fit right in it |
|
Why can't i shake you? |
|
I just can't shake you. |
|
You...are my past |
|
Why won't you stay there |
|
You that pain that guides us |
|
Strings that tie us |
|
That coincidence that proves to us God's existence |
|
The joy I misplaced |
|
Beautiful mistakes |
|
My scarlet thread, |
|
My crimson cord |
