you weren't that when I needed you most
that why it burns me and kills me inside
when I read "happy fathers day" posts
I guess I could say I'm jealous
yeah, I'm jealous
of you and of them
because I only got eight years with you
and they've had their lifetime
and I'm jealous of you because
you've escaped from all of this
there's still rumors that you did it
on purpose, did you?
I don't care, either way you were freed
because they told me you were as crazy
as me
so I blame you for passing down the
insanity genes
and I hate you for leaving mom
and letting her fall into a bad situation
named Steve
but the time I had with you was great
it's just that after you everything
went downhill, but I guess that's fate
I don't really miss you
but I remember your eyes
is that weird?
you had kind eyes
they were gentle, and so was your hand
and dear old dad, I'm trying
I'm trying as fucking hard as I can
but you were always better than me
always the better man
I just wish I could
see you again
