about

This song was written about "fathers" who aren't there for their own family.

lyrics

Oh, dear father, I want to thank you for showing me what not to be.
I'm more of a man than you could ever dream to be and one day I will make you look up to me
I'm here, right now, standing before you.
To prove you're just the coward you will always be.
You made me a monster. I'll haunt you forever.
Oh, dear father, I want to thank you for showing me what not to be
With the money you send, you'd expect three words.
I want you to know that they are, "I DON'T CARE."
My heart is filled with spite to the so-called man who was never there.
My heart is filled with spite to the so called man who was afraid to care.
What kind of a man are you to walk out on us.Not a single fucking word was spoken.
You had the backbone to plant the seed, but chose to run away from everything.
Tell me, what drove you to abandon the ones you were supposed to care for?
So many unanswered questions have haunted me for so long.
Whether I get my answers or not, my views will always stay the same.
I will never let you live this down. I will never let you live this down.
It's a shame to say we are blood. You have lost all of your chances
I'm more of a man than you'll ever be. You are the archetype of a coward.
Tell me, what drove you to abandon the ones you were supposed to care for?
I hope one day you realize, the life you gave up, the son you never knew
Where you failed, I will succeed.
Where you failed, I will succeed.
