Yeah....this is another nasty jab at my dad. Uhm....enjoy!


You're everywhere I wish you weren't--in all my joys and dreams--
You're everything I wish you weren't--including deaf to all my screams.
You're rooted in my memories and I wish you'd go away....
How hard I find it is to flee the man who wouldn't stay.

You were there to make my mom the one that I drempt of fleeing from--
But that memory is hollow now that this woman I've become.
You always were an actor--your shadow always there.
Yet still it hurts to hate and scorn the man who didn't care.

As any child, I trusted you--I see now that trust has been abused.
Now I think I see the truth--I was just a tool you used.
And all the shit you've done to me's brought teardrops to my eyes.
Will time heal the scars I have from the man who told me lies?

You were caught up in the moment then, and wanted her to pay,
And so you used me in your spite, but I've got the bill today.
Just who the fuck do you think you are, to do this shit to me?
I'll say again I have no dad--just a man that couldn't see.
