TW: Alluding to the following, alcohol abuse, child, neglect/ abuse , & suicide
I hated my father
But he's who I act like
It runs in the family
There's rage in my bloodline
Get high off nostalgia
From when I was too young
To carry the burden
Of being this fucked up
Cause I was a good kid
Straight A's I was gifted
But I hated my body
Since that's what they all did
He felt inconvenienced
He had to be a parent
Took care of myself
Til my mind said I couldn't
I didn't feel normal
Nobody should've lived like this
Grew up inside harsh lines
Potential neglected
I needed it like water
He liked when I was quiet
I cried in the bathroom
He called me defiant
Emotional drive by
A deer in the headlights
I didn't feel human
Left with no goodbyes
He packed up his boxes
I was being the good child
I loved him completely
And will in the next life
He was slipping like water
I tried to be a lifeline
I needed a father
He gave me a landmine
I was being the teacher
Now that's what I'm stuck like
Liquor filled up his liver
His mind fell from the inside
We're on different timelines
Our stars used to align
He needed a father
So I let him have mine
I needed him like water
Yet he kept my mouth dry
I loved him completely
He put up the good fight
