Follow in His Footsteps
Violent with a verbal fist
Lacerate my every wish
Condemned to live my life with him
I never want to be like him
Alcoholic my old man
Hide beneath a cloud of shame
Facade of feelings thicker now
As I grow older with resent
Drunken man
I do not understand
Why he does
The things he does to us
Apathy
To try to beat the test
I will never
Follow in his footsteps
Afraid of actions he portrays
My silence pleases him most
Escape to liquid refuges
Artificial pleasures numb my mind
Now he's dead I drown my grief
Booze had said " I love you"
Alone in the gutter is where I am
Bastard now I'm like him
Drunken man
Now I understand
What he did to me
When just a kid
Alcoholic
I have failed the test
I have followed
Exactly in his footsteps
Trouble leading me by the hand
Denial towers friends beliefs
Control is what I think I'm in
Pity, just another excuse
Operate under the influence
What influence is that? (MINE!)
Excursion, mandatory recovery
Incentive, I have none
Sober man
I do not understand
Why I should
Conform to things you would
No desire
For help at your request
I'll continue
To follow in his footsteps
Son of my own been raised like I was
I don't understand the way he acts
He doesn't seem to care anymore
Except if it's to satiate his needs (He seems alright to me!)
Oblivious to what's going on
Sobriety just not for me
Black out, don't remember functioning
Death sways me in it's arms
Drunken man
I didn't understand
Their concerns
For me to stop and learn
Disease
Has now laid me to rest
Just like his father
We've staggered exactly in each others footsteps
Lacerate my every wish
Condemned to live my life with him
I never want to be like him
Alcoholic my old man
Hide beneath a cloud of shame
Facade of feelings thicker now
As I grow older with resent
Drunken man
I do not understand
Why he does
The things he does to us
Apathy
To try to beat the test
I will never
Follow in his footsteps
Afraid of actions he portrays
My silence pleases him most
Escape to liquid refuges
Artificial pleasures numb my mind
Now he's dead I drown my grief
Booze had said " I love you"
Alone in the gutter is where I am
Bastard now I'm like him
Drunken man
Now I understand
What he did to me
When just a kid
Alcoholic
I have failed the test
