The Day I Died - Man Must Die

Born April 19th 1979

Blue collar working class

Poverty bound

Depressions grasp

Ate away at the family core

Self-destructive paths

Lead to inner war

All I could do

Was watch through the eyes of a child

Lonely and confused

Somewhere else when I needed you the most

Always out of your mind

You were a ghost

I wasn’t there

On the day that I died

I was somewhere else

Trying to hide

I don’t forgive you

And I never will

You saw yourself when you looked at me

That’s why you shut me out

Self-hatred of which you are devout

I was the itch that you could not reach

The infected wound that you refused to treat

I’ll tell you this for nothing

I don’t forgive you and I never will

More time for strangers

Than you had for your own sons

I lived in fear of you for years

The things you did haunt me still

It’s funny how the tables turn

You need me but still it burn

Deep down within my soul

Were you unaware or did you know?

You will be held accountable

No love means no respect

I wonder sometimes, what did you expect of me?

You get back what you put in

In your case, not a fucking thing

You get no credit for a single thing

I’ve achieved this far

I did this all without your help

I stand tall with my self-respect

What of you have?

Answer me

What do you have?

Nothing but me

I guess I wouldn’t be the man who

I am today

If it wasn’t for you

And your pathetic games

You made me realize

From day one, I was not welcome

An inconvenience

That you called your son
