Pause

Last night my Mother said she wanted Dad dead.
Straight up, and off with his head.
I couldn't blame her after all he's done,
Stealing my ecstasy and burying it from the sun.

"How could he do that? That Father of yours"
"He's just hiding from his truth" Pause
Pause
Pause

Fact takes over,
And I'm stone cold sober.
Now I'm descending higher and lower.

Lower and lower.

You can't take my positivity,
And you can't take my light,
Because one day you'll see that all along I was right.
Reality says it's not about truth or lies,
It's all about the love that you were so willing to compromise.

You feel used, you say,
That's the burden you place and then walk away.
Head held high,
I hope you can look in the mirror
"It's what I was brought up on",
You can't see reality, not even a glimmer.

I wouldn't want to be involved, even though we're bound by blood.
I'm not blaming myself anymore, I hope you're ready for the flood.

The flood of realisation that you've yet to witness,
Don't get hasty, you don't want to miss this.
You can't see the world when you've got your eyes shut,
Just like you can't see your daughter when you've built your walls up.
I can't climb that high,
I'll always disappoint.
YOU must knock it down,
But it's too little too late
You two are now joint.

I can't help you, if you can't help us.
This is now your wrong doing, let us not make a fuss.

I will disappear, with all the right intentions.
Because now it's you,
It's you I'll never again have to mention.
