Daddy where did you go when I was five years old?
A newborn sister left crying in her crib
Now with this shiny blade and slicing not maim
My heart or relationship to you
I have become the bastard son
The joke of everyone
The failure I’ve become
Now it takes a lot to go hell
Got one life so better live it well
These words are rushing through my mind
You turned your back on all your kids
Just look at what you did
Just another bastard son like me
I have become the bastard son
The joke of everyone
The failure I’ve become
And you’ve failed all your kids
An eternity of blind hate flows from your diamond rings
And the souls you smoked mock your face in hell
Lies they are coming back to life
They’re coming back to me
The revenge of a five year old boy
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
