You sing to me
the same song endlessly,
don't you have better things to do
than causing me agony?
or do you find pride in my misery?
i've heard it a thousand times
okay,"everyone's better than me"
but will saying it on and on erase my mistakes!
if it's what you think, you better wake up
the past isn't changed by cold words only
it's here to stay!
we can only make up for our mistakes
somewhere between now and death.

why don't you just kill me!
the words falling on my ears
feel like a bullet through my head;
your words pierce my heart!
i feel pain like i've never felt before,
makes me wish i was deaf
maybe then you'd love me more;
"...ungrateful...disgrace...!"
words like those
worst, from a parents mouth
would kill a sick man instantly;
why don't you take sometime
to take your breath for a while,
what you've already said will last me a lifetime.
i already know,
you rather spend all your money
in making me a nice coffin
than continue spending on my simple luxuries,
what more could you say
that could be worse than that?!!!

speaking of mistakes, not going so far
you are a success in everything else
but being a father,
why can't you just say
"son of mine
you've made a lot of mistakes
but you still tried
though you can do better next time!"

the intensity is gripping... the message crippling... scolding... I really like it..

life is tough when all we want is a little bit of appreciation from men with solid rock hearts
