No matter how far back you go
You can always trace
A scar you left behind
The imprint of your mistake
And you get beneath my skin
Force your disease within
Drip by drip you infect me
With your lies, your greed, your sin
Self assured, tough, armed to the teeth
But you are mentioned, and I cower
This open wound will never heal
You rip me up to feel empowered
You spread your poison to your kin
As it seeps into my veins
I wince in agony at the sound
Of being called by your name
Father, you have broken your daughter
Does it matter to you now
When you see yourself in me
Does it make you feel proud?
I’m drunk on the venom you shoved down my throat
Am I what you wanted and more
When you see everything I am
How does it feel to know that I am yours? |
